enhancing imagery and demonstration of circularly polarized light[edit]

There is an overwhelming majority of representations of light that are polar. But it would be very beneficial to have more discussion of nonpolar or circularly polarized light that give a more whole view of the concept. I would like to request someone make a representation of the circularly polarized light figure with the magnetic field also included. Psi-Archimedes (talk) 17:55, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
