VBB’(t) = VAA’(t-td) = VAA’(t-L/c) = V0cos((t-L/c)) = V0cos(t- 2L/),
Recall: =c, and = 2
If >>L, VBB’(t) V0cos(t) = VAA’(t),
If <= L, VBB’(t) VAA’(t), the circuit theory has to be replaced.

• time delay
VBB’(t) = VAA’(t-td) = VAA’(t-L/vp),
• Reflection: the voltage has to be treat as wave, some bounce back
• power loss: due to reflection and some other loss mechanism,
• Dispersion: in material, Vp could be different for different wavelength
