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)

I want to understand what exactly is Maxwell's theory of wave propagation and what is its physical intepretation?

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...
