In this special case, the electric vector traces out a circle in the plane, so this polarization is called circular polarization.
2.
Rotation of the electric vector in a clockwise sense is designated right-hand polarization, and rotation in a counterclockwise sense is designated left-hand polarization
3.
In this case, the ratio of their strengths is constant, so the direction of the electric vector ( the vector sum of these two components ) is constant.
4.
Mathematically, an elliptically polarized wave may be described as the vector sum of two waves of equal wavelength but unequal amplitude, and in quadrature ( having their respective electric vectors at right angles and ? / 2 radians out of phase ).
5.
In all other cases, where the two components either do not have the same amplitudes and / or their phase difference is neither zero nor a multiple of 90? the polarization is called elliptical polarization because the electric vector traces out an ellipse in the plane ( the " polarization ellipse " ).
