Cecil,

WOW! Thanks! I took all of those endless physics and math classes before
the Internet arrived, so I had no idea how a standing wave was formed.

OK, the same question. It is a pretty picture, but what extra
information would be gained if somehow the traveling wave components
could be measured?

Here's a pretty good animation of forward, reflected,
and standing waves.
