Compare the polarization states of each of the following pairs of plane waves: (a) Wave 1: E1

Question:

Compare the polarization states of each of the following pairs of plane waves:
(a) Wave 1: E1 = x2cos (t – kz) + y2sin (t – kz),
Wave 2: E2 = x2cos (t + kz) + y2sin (t + kz) ,
(b) Wave 1: E1 = x2cos (t – kz) – y2sin (t – kz),
Wave 2: E2 = x2cos (t + kz) – y2sin (t + kz)
