Simulation of Polarization When using this simulator, first set the frequencies of the vertical and horizontal components equal to each other. Then set the vertical phase (y axis) to -90 and the horizontal phase (x axis) to 0 degrees. Press start.  You will then see a rotating circle drawn on the screen.  This is the case for RCP.  Now repeat the experiment and set the horizontal phase to 180 degrees, leaving the vertical phase at -90 degrees.  You will now see a LCP wave Web link  
A second Polarization Simulator This simulator uses radians. Remember that 90 degrees is equivalent to 1.57 radians. Web link
