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?

Ofcourse not!.
The energy is directed else where, it usually changes to heat.
As I have stated before, in a tank circuit the resistance in the
circuit
also is cyclic with respect to energy distribution. Where there is
resonance
the resistance factor is quite small. As one moves to the "near
stable"
position the resistance factor becomes larger with respect to energy
distribution.
If you wish to pursue what is happening in such a circuit then break
up the application
of voltage in consequitive steps to see the rotational effects of
capacitor and
inductance energy discharge together with the energy distribution when
the
voltage drop over the energy storage units are equal.
