SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the conversion of electromagnetic E field equations from phasor form to sinusoidal form. The participants confirm that the conversion is correct and clarify that the presence of (wt+Bz) indicates a wave traveling in one direction, not a reflected wave. Additionally, they address the polarization of the wave, stating that it can be determined by analyzing the E vector at various angles, concluding that the wave's polarization can be identified as either clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) when graphed in the x-y plane.
