No, I mean when both the electric field and magnetic field both have a circular field configuration… should I make a drawing? I don’t know if I can describe it. I’m sorry for sounding a bit vague. In circular polarization the Magnetic field is a straight line

What does light do to different materials at each frequency range when light is polarized with itself, meaning the electric and magnetic fields form a double helix but one is based on sine and the other one cosine 90 “degrees” out of phase? I hope I’m making this clear enough.

Hey, guys. What is "motion theory?" I heard 2 people babbling in a youtube video about "motion theory" and about how it explains physics better. I'm wondering is this just crackpot nonsense from "conspiracy theorists" or an actual topic to learn about? They kept talking about motion of loops but...

I saw a post on Facebook about Hooke's Law. F = -kx + mg. Does that mean a "force operator" could be constructed... if the wave function has eigenfunctions equal to some constant times ekr + iωt could the observed components of F (a force between an electron and a proton, let's say) be defined...

Thank you all for the replies. I was imagining the little arrows on the EM wave adding up with the static magnetic field like vector addition, changing the direction of the magnetic component of the wave

I was thinking of a magnetostatic field.

(Re: vector addition) Does the magnetic field in the EM radiation combine at all with an external electromagnetic field or does it change its polarization?

What about vector addition?

Why isn't EM radiation attracted/repelled by a magnetic field?

Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

Hi. I saw a 2D graph of two triangles, or maybe cones, one standing straight up, the other one "resting" on top of the other one but upside down with the two pointy ends touching others. The horizontal axis was labeled "space," the vertical axis was labeled "time." I'm sorry for my ignorance of...

I found one ages ago about the hyperbolic functions, but it hadn’t been translated to English from German yet. Anyone know of a good book on hyperbolic functions and other transcendental functions besides the circular functions (trigonometric)?

You mean like it doesn't mean a point particle moving at high speeds around the nucleus?

Can we all agree that electrons still move at absolute zero?

I think Atomic physics gets into specific examples and experiments but I think I’m probably wrong. So, I have to ask, what is atomic physics and how is it different than quantum physics?
