Homework Statement
Suppose we know that [tex]B(\vec x ,t)[/tex] is a solution to Maxwell's equations in vacuum and furthermore we know that [tex]E(\vec x , 0)=E_0[/tex].
How do we find [tex]E(\vec x , t)[/tex]?
Homework Equations
[tex]\nabla \cdot E = 0[/tex].
[tex]\nabla \cdot B =0[/tex].
[tex]\vec \nabla \times \vec B = \left ( \frac{-1}{c} \right ) \cdot \frac{\partial E}{\partial t}[/tex]
[tex] \vec \nabla \times \vec E = \left ( \frac{1}{c} \right ) \cdot \frac{\partial B}{\partial t}[/tex].
I'm using Gaussian's units.
The Attempt at a Solution
I think I could work with the 2 lasts equations I posted to find E but I don't reach anything. I'd like a very small guidance like if I'm in the right direction + a hint if possible.
Thanks.
