The problem is that it is impossible for EM waves to
do that. An EM wave flows in one direction until it
encounters a physical impedance discontinuity. It
cannot "slosh back and forth" in reality.


I guess you still cannot get over your fixation on traveling waves. Too
bad; you miss so much when wearing blinders.
