2. Prove that no longitudinal electromagnetic wave exists in a vacuum. (10pt, no partial scores) Note: 1. You must start from the Maxwell equation included in the textbook. If you use the form of the Maxwell equation not in the textbook, your score will be 0. 2. Hint: If you prove this from sinusoidal plane wave, you can generalize that it is valid for general wave as well (you can use it without proof.)

A plane-polarized electromagnetic wave in vacuum E (x, t) = E0eikx–iwt (in the epsilon-hat direction); cB(x, t) = k × E(x, t) falls at an angle of incidence θ on an infinite plane dielectric of finite depth, where its reflection coefficient is R (the ratio of the incoming Poynting flux to the reflected flux). Assuming all the refracted/transmitted electromagnetic wave is eventually absorbed in the dielectric (that is it does not pass out the other side) use the stress tensor...
