I provided the reference a number of times and you
chose to ignore it. The reference is the chapter on
interference in "Optics", by Hecht.

I am suprised that a book on optics would discuss the
output impedance of Thevenin equivalent circuits.

The "Optics", by Hecht reference is for destructive
and constructive interference, not Thevenin equivalent
circuits, but your attempt to confuse everyone is noted.
"Thevenin" is not even in the index of "Optics" so your
attempted diversion is ridiculous on the face of it.

I will repeat an earlier posting that you conveniently
chose to ignore. If we measure the forward power and
reflected power with a Bird wattmeter at the output of
your source during steady-state, it will tell you that:

forward power = reflected power

From that we can calculate the reflection coefficient.

rho = SQRT(Pref/Pfor) = plus or minus 1.0
