← ScienceWhich consequence results when a shorted inductive cable transmits a high-frequency wave?
A)Wave reflection toward the source✓
B)Increased transmitted wave amplitude
C)Perfect wave transmission occurs
D)Capacitive impedance becomes minimal
💡 Explanation
Wave reflection occurs because impedance mismatch at the short circuit causes total reflection, specifically due to standing wave formation, rather than increased transmission; therefore the wave reflects back toward the source, rather than propagating, because the mismatch in impedance overwhelms forward propagation.
