WHAT DOES POLARIMETRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

polarimetry

Polarimetry

Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of the polarization of transverse waves, most notably electromagnetic waves, such as radio or light waves. Typically polarimetry is done on electromagnetic waves that have traveled through or have been reflected, refracted, or diffracted by some material in order to characterize that object.

Definition of polarimetry in the English dictionary

The definition of polarimetry in the dictionary is the study of the polarization of transverse waves, esp electromagnetic rays such as radio waves and light.
