Finding Polarization Components of an Electric Field Vector

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the vertical and horizontal polarization components of an electric field vector. Participants emphasize the importance of using a structured approach, such as a homework template, to clarify the problem. The conversation suggests that for conceptual discussions, the question should be directed to the General Physics or Classical Physics forums for more targeted assistance.

I have a vector that represents the electric field at a specific point. How to find the vertical and horizontal polarization components of this vector?

Don't delete the template, otherwise no one is going to help you. You've done nothing to show anyone here what you already understand, or where the confusion might lie. Why don't you reply here using the template you deleted.

Welcome to PF!
If this is a homework problem, you need to use the homework template and show your attempt. If you just want to discuss it conceptually, you should post this question in General Physics or Classical Physics forum.
