Abstract.  In the experience of  the superhigh  frequencies observed surface electromagnetic wave phase velocity which, depending on the size of the surface impedance of the underlying surface (a layer of salt water on the metal), has value as a smaller and more of the speed of light in a vacuum; the rate of energy transfer («energy rate») was less than the speed of light. Demonstrated cavity surface and spatial separation method of electromagnetic waves.

Keywords: surface and spatial waves, wave  split cavity method, phase speed and «energy speed» of the wave, the surface impedance, salty water.
