And here's a hint for you: Assume two phase-locked lasers are pointed
at each other. Such a configuration will exhibit standing waves where
all the energy is contained in the electric field at some points and
1/2WL away, all the energy is contained in the magnetic field.
Do you really expect anyone to believe that given two interfering beams
of light, that the combined energies in those two light beams "are sloshing
back and forth" between the points where the net electric field equals
zero. Pray tell, what physical phenomenon is causing all those reflections?
Hint: Your assertion has been proven wrong by numerous experiments with lasers.
It is no more true for transmission lines than it is for lasers. The two beams
of light are "transparent" to each other just as forward current is transparent
to reflected current. The coherent waves traveling in opposite directions have
absolutely no effect on each other until they encounter a common discontinuity.
