← ScienceWhich electromagnetic wave interaction increases when mismatched impedance occurs?
A)Increased wave reflection✓
B)Decreased wave attenuation
C)Maximized wave frequency
D)Uniform power dissipation
💡 Explanation
Increased wave reflection is the outcome because the *impedance mismatch* prevents complete power transfer; therefore energy bounces back, rather than attenuating through its propagation, because alternative impedance matching minimizes reflection given similar transmission-line attributes.
