You criticized Walter Maxwell's explanation and my
explanation without offering any explanation of your
own.

That's everybody? Walter has in fact worked out the very explanation
that you don't seem able to comprehend. It's the same one I pointed
to in the physics books, which you also don't seem to be able to fully
comprehend.

Exactly what completely reverses the momentum
of the reflected wave from the load when the power
reflection coefficient is only 0.5?

Do you have trouble understanding that reflection changes the
direction of the reflected waves? When you work the problem as I
suggested - using real reflection coefficients - you'll note that no
energy is lost. Your explanation is the one that has trouble working
the problem using real reflection coefficients.
