Can someone with a better grasp of vector dynamics than myself please tell me what occurs interactively when two identical circularly polarized EM fields meet at right angles?
Do they cancel or transform in some predeterminable way?
Thank you,
Mark Roberts
Well, EM fields are linear = superposition. Add it up and see.
Making little circles in the air with my fingers, I'm going to guess the result is another wave equal to the linear combination of the two starting waves. And maybe multiplied by their relative phase (which varies in space, as the wave is supposed to, so maybe it disappears into the description of the result).
Odd newsgroup to ask about EM waves though... hell, we don't even design antennas here...

Antenna? You mean what a butterfly has? NOT electronic...
