Proving EM Waves Equations: E = Emsin(kx-ωt) and B = Bmsin(kx-ωt)

[noppawit]

Show that the electric field: E = E_msin(kx-ωt) and magnetic field: B=B_msin(kx-ωt) satisfy the following equations:

-\frac{\partial B}{\partial x} = \mu_{0}\epsilon_{0}\frac{\partial E}{\partial t}

and

\frac{\partial E}{\partial x} = -\frac{\partial B}{\partial t}

I have no idea about this. Would you please guide me for solving this.

Thanks.

Your equations didn't come out properly so we can't help you.

Sorry for my bad Latex typing.

In a situation like this, the usual procedure is to substitute the two given expressions into the differential equation, take the derivatives and see what happens. As I look at what you've been given (without working it out myself) I think you may have to figure out how to relate \mu_o \epsilon_o to k and \omega.
That should get you started. Let us know if you run into trouble.

Upon reading my previous post, I see a small problem with what I wrote. When you substitute the expressions for E an B into each equation, you'll end up with a B_m on one side and a E_m on the other. That's a nuisance. However, I'll bet you can figure out a way to combine those two equations into one equation and then do the substitution.

IIRC, you would start with Maxwell's equations...
