Question

What is the case of reflection, in course of second medium being a perfect conductor?

(a) Loss of energy during absorption

(b) Total energy reflected back to first medium

(c) Partly transmission and reflection

(d) Total energy transmitted into second medium

The question was posed to me in an online interview.

This question is from Reflection topic in portion Mobile Radio Propagation: Large – Scale Path Loss of Wireless/Mobile

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Total energy reflected back to first medium

Easiest explanation: If the second medium is perfect conductor, then all incident energy is reflected back into the second medium. There is no loss of energy during absorption.
