So back to the original problem ## \underline{E}=(\hat{x}a+\hat{y}b)exp(-jkx)## to start solving Maxwells equations ##\nabla x \underline{E} = j \omega\mu\underline{H}## I get ##\nabla x \underline{E} = [-jbk exp(-jkx)]\hat{z}## So ##[-jbk exp(-jkx)\hat{z} = j\omega\mu\underline{H}##...

Thanks, yes that is the equation. I will work on those after work. So is ## k^2=μ\varepsilon\omega^2## always the solution for k or does it vary with E and H?

Homework Statement Home work 3 Q1 Study the E field in free space and a source-free region, E= (a + b)exp(-jkx), where a and b are nonzero real constants, and in the x,y plane respectively. Does it satisfy Maxwell’s equations? If so, find the k and H fields . If not, explain why not...
