1. *How could you tell if a lossless line lost energy by radiation?

there would be missing energy?

A lossless line infinite in extent is the typical definition that
corresponds to its characteristic "non-dissipative" resistance. That,
or it is terminated in a lossy resistor (and the loss is suddenly in
everone's face, full and foursquare).

How long are you going to wait to finish the energy budget to measure
IF there is missing energy from an infinite line?
