Question

Superposition of linearly polarized waves: what is the relationship which is independent of time that describes the electric field components?

Answer 1

In electrodynamics, linear polarization or plane polarization of electromagnetic radiation is a confinement of the electric fieldvector or magnetic field vector to a given plane along the direction of propagation. See polarization and plane of polarization for more information.

The orientation of a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is defined by the direction of the electric field vector.[1] For example, if the electric field vector is vertical (alternately up and down as the wave travels) the radiation is said to be vertically polarized.
