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.)

I read this great answer to this question: Numerical software to manipulate a light beam in its plane wave representation? The main thing that I am trying to clear in my head is the following: Given that plane waves are eigenmodes of maxwell's equations in free space in the absence of sources, shouldn't I be able to use this to propagate a planar e/m field exactly (ignoring aliasing effects)? For example I know the field that exits in the x,...
