Question: 8 . 1 * Two light waves Ex = E 0 cos ( kz - vt ) and Ey = - E 0 cos (

8.1* Two light waves Ex = E0 cos(kz - vt) and Ey =-E0 cos(kz - vt) overlap in space. Show that the resultant is linear light and determine its amplitude and tilt angle u.8.2* Two waves Ez =4 sin (ky - vt) and Ex =3 sin (ky - vt), both in SI units, overlap in space. Describe completely the state of polarization of the resultant. 8.3* Consider the following two waves expressed in SI units: Ex =8 sin (ky - vt + p>2) and Ez =8 sin (ky - vt). Which wave leads, and by how much? Describe the resultant wave. What is the value of its amplitude? 8.4 Describe completely the state of polarization of each of the following waves: (a) E$ = i E0 cos(kz - vt)- j E0 cos(kz - vt)(b) E$ = i E0 sin 2p(z>l - nt)- j E0 sin 2p(z>l - nt)(c) E$ = i E0 sin (vt - kz)+ j E0 sin (vt - kz - p>4)(d) E$ = i E0 cos(vt - kz)+ j E0 cos(vt - kz + p>2).
