the separation of positive and negative charges in a nucleus, atom, molecule or system
The direction of the electric field in the lightwave If the electric field of the lightwave is in the Y Axis, the light is said to be vertically polarized If the electric field of the lightwave is in the X axis, the light is said to be horizontally polarized
Direction of the electric vector of an electromagnetic wave Polarization is fixed for linear polarization or is rotating at right angles to the direction of propagation if circularly polarized
the phenomenon in which waves of light or other radiation are restricted in direction of vibration the condition of having or giving polarity
The normal conventions for polarization are followed here, with p-polarized light having its electric field in the plane of incidence, and s-polarized light with its electric field perpendicular to the plane of incidence The y and z-direction in the layer are shown Note that only p-polarization interacts with the indices along the z-axis of the layer
A property of light Light can be linearly polarized in any direction perpendicular to the direction of travel, circularly polarized (clockwise or counterclockwise), unpolarized, or mixtures of the above
the phenomenon in which waves of light or other radiation are restricted in direction of vibration
The result of light being passed through a filter that makes the light travel in all different directions, therefore making different rays of the light behave differently from one another The filter is called a polarizing filter
The ability of a lens to remove scattered or spurious light waves Polarization eliminates annoying reflections off water, car windshields, and metal objects
{i} making polarized, giving two opposite tendencies; condition of having polariy; phenomenon in which light waves move in one plane (also polarisation)
Electrical potential reduction of electrodes typically arising from prolonged or rapid discharge of the battery
the production of polarized light; the direction in which the electric field of an electromagnetic wave points
One frequency can be used for both sending and receiving data if the signals are polarized correctly Since signals are analogue waves they act like light waves Polarization of light, for example in sunglasses, removes all but one orientation of waves, so that say only vertical waves could be received In telecommunications polarization works the same way To communicate two independent signals on one frequency, the signals are cross-polarized This means that they are polarized at right angles to one another There are two types of polarization common in telecommunications: Linear and Circular Linear polarization is used for Ku-Band signals, and Circular is used for C-Band Polarizing the radio signals allows the same frequency to be used twice over the same coverage area while enabling the Earth Stations and the Satellites to discriminate between the two signals This effectively doubles the amount of usable bandwidth, i e capacity, available
The direction of the electric field (E-field) vector of an electromagnetic (EM) wave See Polarization section The most general case is elliptical polarization with all others being special cases The E-field of an EM wave radiating from a vertically mounted dipole antenna will be vertical and the wave is said to be vertically polarized In like manner, a horizontally mounted dipole will produce a horizontal electric field and is horizontally polarized Equal vertical and horizontal E-field components produce circular polarization
A peculiar affection or condition of the rays of light or heat, in consequence of which they exhibit different properties in different directions
The action or process of affecting radiation and especially light so that the vibrations of the wave assume a definite form
