- Solution b

Solution

The divergence equation requires

B_{3} = 0

, and the wave equation requires

ω^{2} = c^{2} k^{2} .

For propagation in the positive

z

direction, Faraday's law gives

E = \frac{ω}{k} (B_{2}, - B_{1}, 0) cos (k z - ω t) .

Thus $E$ , $B$ , and the propagation direction are mutually perpendicular.
