Applying these to (A.25) (and again using Leibnitz’ rule) we have

Finally, substituting these back into (A.25) and expanding the sine function we obtain

This is easily inverted using (A.27) to give (A.32).

This equation is nearly identical to the wave equation for lossless media studied in the
previous section, except for the addition of the ∂ψ/∂t term. This extra term will lead to
important physical consequences regarding the behavior of the wave solutions.
We shall solve (A.33) using the Fourier transform approach of the previous section,
but to keep the solution simple we shall only consider the homogeneous problem. We
begin by writing ψ in terms of its inverse temporal Fourier transform:
1 ∞ jωt
˜
ψ(x, y, z, t) = ψ(x, y, z,ω)e dω.

Substituting this into the homogeneous version of (A.33) and taking the time derivatives,
we obtain
