It can be shown that each of the rst and the fourth terms is zero. This is because the cor-
responding electric and magnetic elds are in time quadrature. Furthermore, the second
term is equal to the third term and each is equal to

point exists only for the p wave.
At Ω = 1/C, A = 0, and B = 0. Evaluating the li
