Homework Statement
An electromagnetic wave is incident on a surface which absorbs all the electric field. Use Maxwell’s equations to determine the magnetic field on the other side of the surface.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
My initial thought was that ##B=0## as a varying B field would produce an E field. But then I thought we could still have a constant E field that has no oscillations. Is this even possible (it doesn't seem likely to me).
Many thanks
