Since you insist that waves can have an effect on other waves, then
you should at least be able to detail either mathematically or

elaborate. Thanks.

In the s-parameter equation, b1 = s11(a1) + s12(a2) = 0,
the interaction of s11(a1) and s12(a2) results in wave
cancellation. The effect of each wave on the other is
to reverse the direction and momentum of both waves.

That is what happens at a Z0-match in a transmission
line. That is what happens at the surface of thin-
film when reflections are being canceled.

Again, the redistribution of the wave energy is certainly
an interaction that wouldn't exist with either wave alone.
