Roy, this is the part I don't understand about some people posting on
this thread. A standing wave does *not* have a phase shift.

Gene said the same thing many months ago:

Phase is gone. Kaput. Vanished. Cannot be recovered. Never to be
seen again.

Cecil,

As usual, you continue to take things out of context. That quote
specifically referred to the (kz-wt) "phase". Simple examination of the
ideal standing wave equation shows my quoted comment to be correct.

However, I have also pointed out on several occasions that there are
multiple definitions for phase. It is not necessary to have a (kz-wt)
term in order to have valid and useful "phase" in a circuit.

But you already know that.
