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

The high impedance medium can carry more energy than the low impedance medium. So when a wave goes from high impedance to low impedance some of the energy is reflected back because it can't go forwards.
