What is "resistance reflection theory"?

Answer 1

well... not trying to be a smartass, but it sounds like when something is resisted, some is absorbed, and some is reflection. It could also encompass the principle of harmonics. In other words, if you have the reflected frequency just right, the reflection and the resistance in fine tune would cause reverberance, and resonation. It's a way to put math to an idea. Kinda like E=mC squared

Answer 2

I don't know in what context u have asked the qn but if it is an electronics qn then in a BJT Transistor there are two resistances R pi and Re which are related by the the eqn

Re = (1+beta)*R pi

This is known as the resistance reflection rule  

Answer 3

Not a term i have ever seen used...

With EM waves travelling through a material of one resistance. At the boundary of the material to another material of different resistance, some of the EM wave can be back reflected.  

To give an example: an unterminated 10 Base T (BNC) computer network connection (what they used to use before RJ 45), if unterminated (i.e. someone unplugged a cable from a computer, but didn't terminate it) can suffer back reflection of the electrical signal thus causing interference and network problems, hence the requirement for 50 Ohm terminators.

Likewise the example above is OK with light at a boundary of two refractive indexes (analogy of resistance), one can receive a back reflection of the incident light wave.
