Blaming references is a very strong indicator of you having the
problem, not the textbooks.
Is in old books the same as in todays?
Sometimes they are changed.
The one I have verified with the comb.
I've read that, and it proves nothing that is part of the topic (I
shall explain below).
The second "wave polarisation" is explained with transverse waves. No
transverse waves.
If "no," then what "yes?"
You wrote: "Compressional waves or longitudinal waves? In solid or air or
in
liquid? The answers to these questions lead to very, very different
behavior. As I say, these simplicities you use are nonsense"
In EM are many simplifications. Electric waves are like the acoustic. Of
course they kick the electrons in antennas not a membranes.
Actually you have mixed up two different characteristics. Polarity
and polarization are NOT the same thing. With RF radiation, the wave
is constantly changing polarity
In transvers waves something changes the direction of rotation. The source
makes rotating oscillations.
(that is why the source of RF is called alternating current), but within
the "line of sight" of the
antenna, the polarization for a dipole is defined by its angle to the
earth as viewed by the observer.)
You decribe the electric waves.
If you see an horizontal dipole, it produces alternating polarities of
waves with horizontal polarization. If you see a vertical dipole, it
produces alternating polarities of waves with vertical polarization.
!00% agreement with me. RF waves are electrical.
RF energy is ALWAYS changing polarity.
If receiver (resonator) must be parallel to emmiter you
can explain it in many ways. But to verify it the comb is not enough. So I
need help.
The comb was useless in proving anything about RF, antennas, or
polarization. What it demonstrates is induced polarity in a
dielectric. Interesting, but entirely unrelated to the topic.
The Acoustic analogy will be also interesting.
