→Mathematical description of elliptical polarization: removed reference to cgs units - no units occur in these formulas Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit |
Rv. Electromagnetic equations generally depend on the choice of units. MKS equations have different constants in them. If you're *sure* that isn't the case here, then say so and revert me. |

==Mathematical description of elliptical polarization==
The [[Classical physics|classical]] [[sinusoidal]] plane wave solution of the [[electromagnetic wave equation]] for the [[Electric field|electric]] and [[Magnetic field|magnetic]] fields is ([[Centimeter gram second system of units|cgs units]])
