Preliminary Solutions to Problems and Questions Chapter 6 Note: Printing errors and corrections are indicated in dark red. See Question 6.20 6.1 Polarization Suppose that we write the E and E components of a light wave generally as: y x E = E cos(t kz ) and E = E cos(t kz ) x xo y yo Show that at any instant E and E satisfy the ellipse equation on the E vs.E coordinate system: x y y x 2  2     E   E E E x  y  x  y  2    2  cos sin         E E E E xo yo xo yo        Sketch schematically what this ellipse looks like assuming Exo = 2 Eyo . When would this ellipse form an (a) ellipse with its major axis on the x-axis, (b) a linearly polarized light at 45, (c) right and left circularly polarized light?
