The reflected wave remains on the incident string, so its wavenumber magnitude is still . Its outward power magnitude is

Thus , verifying energy conservation. With signed positive- fluxes, and the same statement is . The minus sign of the reflected displacement is a phase reversal, whereas the minus sign of its flux records travel in the opposite direction; these are different uses of a sign.
