In [[electrodynamics]], ''' Suhail was here bhello ellipticave may be resolved into two [[linear polarization|linearly polarized wave]]s in [[Quadrature phase|phase quadrature]], with their polarization planes at right angles to each other. Since the electric field can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise as it propagates, elliptically polarized waves exhibit [[chirality (physics)|chirality]].

So was bilal :o Other forms of polarization, such as [[circular polarization|circular]] and [[linear polarization]], can be considered to be special cases of elliptical polarization.
