WHAT DOES HOMOGENOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

homogenous

Homogeneity and heterogeneity

Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity in a substance. A material that is homogeneous is uniform in composition or character; one that is heterogeneous is distinctly nonuniform in one of these qualities. The words homogeneous and heterogeneous come from Medieval Latin homogeneus and heterogeneus, from Ancient Greek ὁμογενής and ἑτερογενής, from ὁμός and ἕτερος respectively, followed by γένος; -ous is an adjectival suffix. The concepts are the same to every level of complexity, from atoms to populations of animals or people, and galaxies. Hence, an element may be homogeneous on a larger scale, compared to being heterogeneous on a smaller scale. This is known as an effective medium approach, or effective medium approximations.

Definition of homogenous in the English dictionary
