There is a rather nice polarization applet at: http://home3.netcarrier.com/~chan/EM/PROGRAMS/POLARIZATION/
>From it one can get an immediate and clear conception of the nature of circular polarization and elliptical polarization as well for that matter. In effect the third component of light must be that which governs the phase angle. This ties is with Jones's insight in relation to three phase power transmission. It would appear that the third unrecognised phase must be one of the two components of mass referred to in a previous post. When googling ["three phase" theory] I was amused to come across the factor 1.732: ====================================================== POWER = E x I x 1.732 x POWER FACTOR (FOR THREE PHASE) ====================================================== which, as readers of my precious post may recall, is Vesica Pisces. 8^) Cheers Frank Grimer
