According to Tigertek they are not. Photons are massless at rest. They
cease to exist. Waves made of photons thus don`t exist if they are not
in motion. A real electromagnetic wave must be moving to exist. Check
out Tigertek`s fact of the day.
I agree that there is a logical contradiction between standing
waves and electromagnetic waves. Too bad the people using
standing wave current for measuring phase don't realize that.
