Question
What does Gauss's Law for magnetism imply in Maxwell's equations?
Explanation
**Transverse nature** means E and B perpendicular to direction, e.g., wave propagating along z, E along x, B along y, Poynting vector S = E×B/μ₀ along z, energy flow direction. E and B in phase, maxima together, ratio fixed c. Gauss's Law for magnetism, oint B · d A = 0 , implies that there are no magnetic monopoles, as the net magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields No magnetic monopoles exist, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
