Polarization at media interface

Amazing analysis....helps me a lot for my gate preparation

Hi Prof, lecture 23 says , to get elliptical polarization, phase diff not = 90, but this lecture says it is 90. See below for details lecture 23 says: "the third case which means the general case where E1 is not equal to E2, delta is not zero or delta is not equal to plus minus pi by 2. In this case we will have in general the elliptical polarization. " But this lecture @17:34, it says: "if the phase difference between them is 90 degrees the wave becomes elliptically polarize." Would you have an explanation?

For circular polarization, phase must be 90 degrees and also the magnitude of the two vector components must be equal, otherwise the wave is elliptically polarized. So if either thing is violated, it becomes elliptical polarization.
