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

A second Polarization Simulator

This simulator uses radians. Remember that 90 degrees is equivalent to 1.57 radians.
