Polarization is valid Scrabble Word

Definitions for POLARIZATION in dictionary:

NOUN:
• the act of affecting radiation and esp. light so that the vibrations of the wave assume a definite form, also POLARISATION
• division into two sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs
• the action of restricting the vibrations of a transverse wave, especially light, wholly or partially to one direction
• the action of causing something to acquire polarity
• the act of affecting radiation and especially light so that the vibrations of the wave assume a definite form
• The act of polarizing; the state of being polarized, or of having polarity.
• A peculiar affection or condition of the rays of light or heat, in consequence of which they exhibit different properties in different directions.
• An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the deposition upon them of the gases liberated by the action of the current. It is chiefly due to the hydrogen, and results in an increase of the resistance, and the setting up of an opposing electro-motive force, both of which tend materially to weaken the current of the battery, or that passing through the cell.
• the phenomenon in which waves of light or other radiation are restricted in direction of vibration
• the condition of having or giving polarity
OTHER DEFINITIONS:
• the action of polarizing or state of being or becoming polarized; as the action or process of affecting radiation and especially light so that the vibrations of the wave assume a definite form; the state of radiation affected by this process; an increase in the resistance of an electrolytic cell often caused by the deposition of gas on one or both electrodes; magnetization
