It would be really amusing to see you scramble to rotate the vector axis
of the magnetic field (or the E-field) as it reflects from an interface.
Since the E-field and H-field are related by curl relationships as shown
in the Maxwell equations, it would be interesting to see how one could
have related E-fields and H-fields at "0 degrees" and "180 degrees" as
you claim. As a self-proclaimed math expert I am sure you understand the
properties of the curl operator.

This is very basic stuff, and it is in the standard textbooks, probably
even in Hecht.

It certainly applies to EM waves but what you are missing is
that it doesn't apply to standing waves which are NOT EM waves.
Tomorrow I will list the Ramo & Whinnery characteristics of
an EM wave. Standing waves don't meet those characteristics.
