The authors present the integro-differential equation which describes a spatial plane wave with arbitrary time dependence. They analyze the integro-differential equation for superhorizon photons at asymptotically late times. The authors show analytically that while the vector potential approaches a nonzero constant, its time derivative behaves like an Airy oscillator. Numerical analysis is also presented. Moreover, the authors translate these results into statements about the physical electric and magnetic fields.
