A polarised beam of light can be considered to be a superposition of two component waves that are linearly polarised perpendicular to each other. The relationship between the phases and amplitudes of these two waves determines the polarisation state of the resultant beam. Match each statement about the component waves to the polarisation state of the resultant wave. The two component waves have equal amplitudes and are in phase. [ Choose ] v The two component waves have different amplitudes. [ Choose ] v The two component waves have equal amplitudes and have a three- [ Choose ] quarter-cycle phase difference. The two component waves have equal amplitudes and have a quarter-cycle [ Choose ] phase difference. The two component waves have equal amplitudes and have a phase [ Choose ] difference that isn't a quarter- half- or three-quartercycle. The two component waves have equal amplitudes and have a half-cycle [ Choose ] phase difference
