:-) That explains a lot, Cecil. It points up another Moral: Don't
write an equation and then forget where you put your point of
reference. Your wave is moving a lot faster than your electrons. Don't
worry about your electrons so much - they'll take care of themselves.

That's pretty much the point, Jim. The energy in the wave causes electrons
to pile up closer at some places than at other places. Simply knowing the
probability of the location of the physically bunched electron particles
tells us everything about the waves, much as the vertical mass of water
molecules tells us everything about a water wave. I say vertical mass
because water is somewhat incompressible. Phasor math is not the only
valid way of dealing with AC voltages and currents. Some methods don't
even require the concept of "phase".
