Napkin math: Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second. At 60 hz, the wavelength would be 5,000 km. 1% of that would be 50 km. Imagine a triangle with 2 gene

Imagine a triangle with 2 generators 100km apart, and a factory almost due south of one generator:
ga ......... gb
__f
I think the offset would be something like sin(gb.f) - sin(ga.f)
But really this comment is bait for an EE to school me.
