You can get the same answer from knowing that the impedance looking
into a 1/4 wave section of shorted transmission line is infinite.


Ever measure the forward and reflected currents halfway into a
shorted 1/4WL stub? How can currents be flowing unimpeded into
and out of an infinite impedance? Hint: it's the net current
that is zero at the input of a 1/4WL stub. The forward current
and reflected current are equal in magnitude and opposite in
phase. Their individual magnitudes can be very large.
