But in (5) we solved for E

, and if we then plug those solutions into (6)
and (7) we can solve for B

in terms of B

Finally, with the ansatz (1) the equation B = 0 reads

We can think of equations (11) and (12) as eigenvalue equations that have solu-
tions only for certain values of the parameter , which depend on the boundary
conditions.
Armed with equations (11) and (12) and the boundary conditions appropri-
ate to our problem we can now solve for B
z
and E

and then use (9) and (10)
to nd the remaining components of the B eld. The remaining components of
the E eld are given by analogous equations:

(A factor of e

For TM modes, the boundary condition is E
= 0, and E
z
is always perpen-
dicular to the boundary surfaces, so the boundary condition for the eigenvalue
equation is E
z
= 0. For the case of TE modes, the boundary condition is B
= 0.
Suppose one boundary surface is the yz plane. The normal to this plane is the
x direction, so B
x
must vanish at this surface; but we just saw that in the TE
case B
x
x
B
z
, i.e. the derivative of B
z
normal to the boundary surface must
vanish. This is general: the boundary condition for the eigenvalue equation in
the TM case is B

/n = 0.

To address the issue of dissipation in the boundaries, we solve Maxwells
equations within the boundary surfaces. The two curl equations are
E = iB (17)
B = J iE
= ( i) E
E (18)
since in most cases. (For example, for a copper waveguide with air
or vacuum interior we have we have 6 10

, while 9

( in rad/sec), so the approximation is good up to frequencies
10
19
rad/sec.)
Now we assume that the elds are only changing signicantly in the direc-
tion normal to the boundary surface (i.e., as we go deeper and deeper into the
boundary surface the elds die out rapidly, whereas as we move along parallel
to the boundary surface the elds dont change much) and keep only the normal
derivative in the curl equations. If measures the depth of penetration into the
surface, the curl equations become
E
= iB
B
= E
Dierentiating the rst of these, taking the cross product with of both sides,
and substituting in the second equation yields
2
E
2
= iE
or, using the bac-cab rule,
2
E
2
2
E

= iE.
Evidently the component of the LHS vanishes here, so E
= 0; the electric
eld within the conducting boundary has no component normal to the surface.
For the remaining components we obtain
2
E
2
+ iE
= 0

where =

2/ is the skin depth and E

is the eld just at the surface of
the boundary. To keep the solution from blowing up as we penetrate into the
conductor we take the negative sign in the exponent. From (17) we then obtain
B =
i 1
( E

)e
(1+i)
.
Evaluating this at the surface yields the modied boundary condition on the
elds in the cavity or waveguide:
B

=
i 1
( E

). (19)
From this equation we can work out the power loss per unit length in the
cavity or waveguide. The power dissipated in a volume dV is

(J E) dV =
