Identify the polarisation of the wave given, Ex = 2 cos wt and Ey = sin wt. The phase difference is -90^0.(a) Left hand circularly polarised(b) Right hand circularly polarised(c) Left hand elliptically polarised(d) Right hand elliptically polarisedThis question was posed to me at a job interview.My question is taken from Types of Polarization in division EM Wave Propagation of Electromagnetic Theory |
Answer» RIGHT choice is (d) Right hand ELLIPTICALLY polarised The best explanation: The magnitude of the EX and Ey COMPONENTS are not same. Thus it is elliptical polarisation. For -90 phase difference, the polarisation is right handed. In other words, the rotation is in anti-clockwise direction. Thus the polarisation is right hand elliptical. |
