Abstract
This work presents the analytical solution of vector wave equation in fractional space. General plane wave solution to the wave equation for fields in source-free and lossless media is obtained in fractional space. The obtained solution is a generalization of wave equation from integer dimensional space to a non-integer dimensional space. The classical results are recovered when integer-dimensional space is considered.
