Reply to comment by agabwagawa in When a wave travels goes from a higher impedance medium to a lower impedance medium, why would that cause a reflected wave? by agabwagawa

No, for the same reason that going from low to high doesn't transmit all that energy into the pressure. Neither pressure nor motion can have a sudden discontinuous change.
