    Understanding Polarization at Different Phases?

    Describe the state of polarization represented by (here w = omega and TT = pi) a) Ex = Esin(kz - wt) & Ey = Ecos(kz - wt) b) Ex = Ecos(kz - wt) & Ey = Ecos(kz - wt + TT/4) c) Ex = Esin(kz - wt) & Ey = Esin(kz - wt)

    Fermat's principle to derive lens formula

    1. For the past 1 hour, I'm trying to derive lens maker's equation using fermat's principle, which of course is our homework. Any help would be great regarding the topic. 2. According to Fermat's Principle, optical path length OPL = PA + AQ, here PA and AQ are two rays. Now using this I...
