Abstract At the dawn of the research on waveguides the propagation by electrical conduction through transmission lines was compared with the general transmission theory of plane electromagnetic waves. After the invention of lasers we wonder whether the impedance concept can allow a seamless shift from the geometric rendering of received electromagnetic signals to the understanding of simple arguments on power transfer. Perhaps, the impedance concept could help noticing the occurrence of radiation-matter interactions and give hints as to how some phenomena could be enhanced by exposing matter to specific non-ionizing radiations.
