Discussion
True or false: a plane wave can have a component of electric field along its direction of travel.
Answer: B
The divergence condition forces the longitudinal component to be constant along the direction of propagation, and for a wave it must therefore vanish. Guided waves in a hollow waveguide do have longitudinal components, but they are not uniform plane waves.
