From (5.25) show that the polarization of the waves propagating at an angle θ with respect to B₀ (considering the perpendicular electric field vector component) is determined by

From this result verify that for θ = 0 the waves are left and right circularly polarized, whereas for θ = π/2 the polarization of the extraordinary mode is given by

so that this mode is in general elliptically polarized.

Equation.
