"Exactly how much horizontal movement can there be in the free electrons

when the electric wave is moving at 300000 km/h?


Already answered earlier in this thread. For HF frequencies, the

horizontal movement of the electrons is minuscule and they can be
considered to be oscillating in place.

Waves are described in the two method: " More generally, the Stokes drift
velocity is the difference between the
average Lagrangian flow velocity of a fluid parcel, and the average
Eulerian flow velocity of the fluid at a fixed position. This nonlinear
phenomenon is named after George Gabriel Stokes, who derived expressions
for this drift in his 1847 study of water waves."

It is the photons that move at the speed of light.


Photons are the math joke.
Electric waves in a medium made of electrons move at the speed of light.
