OK, I realise now where your confusion has arisen. It is because I
was discussing what was necessary to set up a standing wave in the

you were discussing the state of affairs AFTER the standing wave had been
set up.

Perhaps if you read posts more carefully and were not so intent on scoring
points and abusing those with whom you deliberately disagree?
