For a vector \( \BA \) in spherical coordinates, let’s compute the Laplacian
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:vectorWaveEquationSpherical:20} \spacegrad^2 \BA, \end{equation}
to see the form of the wave equation. The spherical vector representation has a curvilinear basis \begin{equation}\label{eqn:vectorWaveEquationSpherical:40} \BA = \rcap A_r…
