This StackExchange answer is a really great explanation of characteristic impedance: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/59208/transmission-line-reflection-i-would-like-a-non-mathematical-explanation https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/59208/transm... This one is OK too: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/150222/why-is-power-reflected-when-there-is-an-impedance-mismatch https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/150222/why-i... The Art of Electronics 3rd Ed has a great explanation of series and parallel circuit terminations that I also highly recommend for understanding this, I think in chapter 15.

This video from Bell Labs showing various behaviors of waves using a nifty mechanical wave machine to make everything visible might be enlightening. The whole thing is useful, but those who are just interested in impedance and reflections can skip to chapters 4 and 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DovunOxlY1k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DovunOxlY1k

  I just started watching this, and I'm immediately impressed with the production values when compared to today's "creator" content. All of the edits are matched. There are no jump cuts. Well thought out material vs random thoughts attempted to be cut together into something coherent is totally lost, and yet we reward those that smash cut stuff together equally for those that do it well. Generational differences in yet another example of I'm getting old (er, I am old)
