Question

what do you mean by ELLIPTICALLY POLARISED LIGHT?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Elliptically polarized light consists of two perpendicular waves of unequal amplitude which differ in phase by 90°. ... If the thumb of your right hand were pointing in the direction of propagation of the light, the electric vector would be rotating in the direction of your fingers.

Answer 2

Answer:

If light is composed of two plane waves of equal amplitude by differing in phase by 90°, then the light is said to be circularly polarized. If two plane waves of differing amplitude are related in phase by 90°, or if the relative phase is other than 90° then the light is said to be elliptically polarized

In electrodynamics, elliptical polarization is the polarization of electromagnetic radiation such that the tip of the electric field vector describes an ellipse in any fixed plane intersecting, and normal to, the direction of propagation.
