transition's shape is the main wherefore; Fresnel interfaces are the
next.

As I wrote in other threads about orbitals, polarisation is direct
proof of discrete orbits such as your circula. Know already its axis
is a pseudovector, hennes the odd "transverse" name.

Longitudinal waves with nonzero power would be material--or el=E8ctronic
sound.
