Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

Remember, calculate fields first and then worry about power or energy.
Any change in that calculation order will surely lead to "traveling
waves of average power" and other such gems.

I hope no Joules are hurt in the collision.

If two boards of a length are secured upon the surface of a body of
water, their parallel distances to each other computed to "contain"
"standing waves" of a certain frequency, and a device to "impart energy"
placed against one, to "strike" the surface of the water--much can be
seen without the necessity of "complicating maths."

Or, a substantial mud puddle, two boards and a timing circuit ...
