8-2.3 Polarization of Plane Waves
r r
When the E vector of the plane wave is fixed in the x-direction E ax Ex ,
the wave is said to be linearly polarized in the x-direction.
Consider the superposition of two linearly polarized waves: one
polarized in the x-direction, and the other polarized in the y-direction
and lagging 90 in time phase.
