Q1

CAN YOU EXPLAIN CIRCULARLY POLARIZATION WITH IMAGES?

Circularly polarization we have electric field 1 perpendicular to electric field 2 (are those electric fields already polarized prior, and can it be electric field perpendicular to magnetic field?), adding them gives a diagonal electric field vector. So is the diagonal electric field in the same axis as the polarizer filter, thus only letting the diagonal vector pass through?
