Humph, all this hot air just addles my aged brain...

I do know a FEW things however...

I know that standing waves exist because I can slide my fluorescent
bulb along the line and show precisely where they are

I can measure the distance between peak voltage points with a metric
wooden ruler and demonstrate/prove that 3X10^6meters / Fcycles =
the length of the measured 2 radians of travel....

But most importantly I KNOW that the standing waves are real and have
energy because my fluorescent tube lights up as it passes the peaks...
That requires energy/watts/joules to flow through the gas of the
tube...

You can use all the damned words in the world to talk around and
obscure the subject, but when I slide along my line the bulb lights to
maximum brilliance every half wave length of the standing waves...

But what does it mean at the other places along the line where
the bulb does not light?

Does it mean that there is no energy at these points on the line?
