A coefficient named for this process is zero for a perfect balun (“BAL-un”) to allow efficient power transfer. In two-port systems, the S-one-one parameter is the value of a coefficient named for this process for the input port voltage. A coefficient named for this process is zero at the center of a (10[1])Smith chart. (10[1])A short circuit (-5[2])has a value of minus one for a coefficient (-5[1])named for this process. A coefficient named for this process (-5[1])equals [read slowly] “Z-load minus Z-naught over Z-load plus Z-naught,” (10[1]-5[1])since this (10[1])process occurs when an impedance mismatch is (10[1])present. A coefficient named for this process is the ratio of the amplitude of an outgoing wave to the amplitude (-5[2])of the incident wave. Lambert’s cosine (10[1])rule (10[1])describes (10[1])the (-5[1])diffuse (10[1])form of this process. (10[3])For 10 points, name this process whose specular form may occur (10[1])when light hits a glossy (10[1])surface. ■END■ (10[7])
