Sorry Gene, almost everything you said about standing waves is false
and some simple math will prove it. Please stop acting like a spoiled
brat long enough to understand the following facts of physics.

I believe that, in the long run, the technical truth will will out
over all the ignorance, obfuscation, and ad hominem attacks.

Cecil,

That is certainly an interesting characterization. Is your position that
anyone who disagrees with you must be a spoiled brat? And who provided
the ad hominem attack in this thread?

You are of course able to believe anything you wish. However, all of
your handwaving explanations about reflections and phase shifts and
phasors will not be found in ordinary discussions about the Poynting
vector. Your "simple math" proves nothing at all, not even close. It is
not reasonable to substitute current and voltage for E-field and H-field
when considering the Poynting vector. The vector nature of the fields is
essential to properly determine the cross product. Go take a look at the
actual field configurations for a TEM wave, which includes standing
waves, and report back to us.

Everything I said in my previous post is exactly correct.

73,
Gene
