Which effect on signal propagation occurs when impedance changes within a transmission line?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflection and attenuation occur due to impedance mismatches causing part of the wave to bounce back rather than propagate forward; this is caused specifically by wave interference because transmission impedance suddenly changes, therefore energy losses result rather than efficient conversion.
