Standard Mathematical Tables printed on the cover.) Cecil through a
curve ball. The correct function for a standing wave can be written as
the algebraic sum of two sine functions, or as the product of a sine and
a cosine function e.g. y = 2*Ymax*sin(kx)cos(wt).

I'm surprised that a physics professor doesn't recognize
the difference between the conventions of RF engineering
and optical physics (which are essentially meaningless).

Is discrediting me really worth denying the laws of physics?
