Abstract

When describing electromagnetic waves propagating through free space, Maxwell's equations are applicable only if the wave speed can be treated as a constant, and this restricts the choice of coordinates. The constraint can be overcome by some relatively simple modifications of the equations for propagating fields, and such modifications are described herein.
