Consider a plane wave solution for the electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave:

E(r,t) = E0ei(k*r-?t+ε)

B(r,t) = B0ei(k*r-?t+ε)

by performing the involved partial derivatives, prove the following relations:

A. ∇ * E(r,t) = ik * E(r,t)

B. ∇ * B(r,t) = ik * B(r,t)

C. ∇ x E(r,t) = ik * E(r,t)

D.  (?B(r,t))/(?t) = - i?B(r,t)

E.∇ x B(r,t) = ik * B(r,t)

F. (?E(r,t))/(?t) = -i?E(r,t)
