Write down Maxwell's Equations for electric and magnetic fields E(x,t) and B(x,t) in the absence of charges and currents. Show that there are solutions of the form
E(x,t)=Re{E0ei(k⋅x−ωt)},B(x,t)=Re{B0ei(k⋅x−ωt)}
if E0 and k satisfy a constraint and if B0 and ω are then chosen appropriately.
Find the solution with E0=E(1,i,0), where E is real, and k=k(0,0,1). Compute the Poynting vector and state its physical significance.
