The reflection coefficient ($\Gamma$) is given by the formula $\Gamma = \frac{Z_L - Z_0}{Z_L + Z_0}$, where $Z_L$ is the load impedance and $Z_0$ is the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. For a normalized load impedance of 2 ($Z_L/Z_0 = 2$), the reflection coefficient becomes $\Gamma = \frac{2 - 1}{2 + 1} = \frac{1}{3} = 0.33334$.
