E field and B field assertions should be opposite

The fields still stay perpendicular to each other locally. Longitudinal components come from working with a spherical wavefront in cartesian basis, from what I understand. If this is not convincing, take Maxwell's equations in free space, go to reciprocal space and you will see that you NEVER can have a longitudinal component in absence of sources. | |
