How is it that the electric and magnetic fields in unpolarized light are not canceled out?
The simplest example would be two photons of the same energy traveling coherently in time along exactly the same path in space, differing only by a rotation of 180 degrees around the axis of travel. Would the electric/magnetic field of one cancel the electric/magnetic field of the other?
