Abstract

Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetic waves in free space, with parallel electric and magnetic fields, are solved under the condition that the fields are functions of z and t, independent of either x or y. A number of interesting examples of plane waves obtained from the general solution are shown. Their properties and the vanishing Poynting vector are discussed.
