Extract

We may write the electro-magnetic equations of Clerk-Maxwell as

For plane waves, running with normal velocity vα= −μ−1, we have

whence at once

[For the moment, we assume that φ and ψ are self-conjugate, so that a linear function of them is also self-conjugate. And we employ the method sketched in Tait's Quaternions, §§ 438–9.]
