? At the end of an any characteristic.-Z halfwave transmission line, the
termination Z repeats itself -- with a reactance reversal. . Since
there is no reactance in this termination, the Z at the end of the 93-ohm
halfwave line is 50 +/- j0 ohms, the SWR is 1:1.

? 93/50 = 1.86:1.
How did I do?

Question 3:
In Question 1, if the SWR meter were moved from the 1/2 wave point to the
1/4 wave point, what would the SWR reading be?.
