WHAT DOES ISOTROPY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

isotropy

Isotropy

Isotropy is uniformity in all orientations; it is derived from the Greek isos and tropos. Precise definitions depend on the subject area. Exceptions, or inequalities, are frequently indicated by the prefix an, hence anisotropy. Anisotropy is also used to describe situations where properties vary systematically, dependent on direction. Isotropic radiation has the same intensity regardless of the direction of measurement, and an isotropic field exerts the same action regardless of how the test particle is oriented.

Definition of isotropy in the English dictionary

The definition of isotropy in the dictionary is the quality or state of having uniform physical properties in all directions. Other definition of isotropy is the quality or state of not having predetermined axes.
