For traveling electromagnetic waves, the electric and magnetic fields E and B are in phase. In cgs,




and in MKS,



where
is the permeability of free space. The average flux is then

For standing EM waves, E and B are 90° out of phase. In cgs,




and in MKS,




For an electromagnetic wave represented in complex notation as

the following identities hold:



The electromagnetic wave equations follow from the telegraphy equations. In free space in cgs


and


In MKS

is the permittivity of free space, and


In a dielectric in cgs


so using

where c is the speed of light,
is the electric permittivity,
is the magnetic permeability, and n is the index of refraction gives


In MKS,


so using
