what happens to the magnetic field during linear polarization and what happens exactly?

Linear polarization is a phenomenon where the electric field of a light wave is confined to a single plane as it propagates through space.
A magnetic field can alter the direction of the electric field of a light wave, causing it to become elliptically or circularly polarized instead of linearly polarized.
Yes, a magnetic field can reverse the direction of the electric field, thereby reversing the linear polarization of a light wave.
The effect of a magnetic field on linear polarization is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. A stronger magnetic field will result in a greater change in the polarization of the light wave.
Linear polarization is used in various scientific applications, such as in optical filters and polarizers, to manipulate the polarization of light for specific purposes. It is also used in studies of magnetic fields and their effects on light waves.
