Quarter Wave Plate

Why quarter-wavelength phase shift change linearly polarized light to circular polarized?
Quarter-wave plate creates a quarter-wavelength phase shift which change linearly polarized light to circular and vice versa. But I don't understand how can we say or understand that quarter-wavelength phase shift change linearly polarized light to circular and vice versa ?
Here's a detailed link without the math which does a good job explaining circular polarization.
It has an animation which shows how the E field vectors of the two component waves combine if the two are quarter-wavelength phase shifted.

Question involving Polarization and Quarter Wave Plates?
Unpolarized light, which travels in the z-direction and has frequency f0, enters a linear polarizer with a Transmission Axis (TA) inclined at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the x-axis. It then enters a birefringent slab and emerges as circularly polarized light. The TA and the fast and slow axes of the birefrigent slab are parallel to the xy plane
With the slab oriented as shown in the figure, the light frequency is doubled to 2 f0. After the light emerges from the birefringent slab, it is:
a) unpolarized
b) circularly polarized
c) linearly polarized
the answer is c) but I cant figure it out for the life of me, can anyone explain?
If you pass the polarized light through a quarter-wave plate, the wave comes out circularly polarized. When you double the light frequency, that plate is no longer a quarter-wave plate, it is a half-wave plate. A half wave plate merely rotates the plane of polarization of an incoming polarized wave.
