Problem 4.195

Proceeding from Maxwell's equations show that in the case of a plane electromagnetic wave (Fig. 4.38) propagating in vacuum the following relations hold: \[ \frac{\partial E}{\partial t}=-c^{2} \frac{\partial B}{\partial x}, \quad \frac{\partial B}{\partial t}=-\frac{\partial E}{\partial x} \]
