Ray :: Ray (n.) A line of light or heat proceeding from a radiant or reflecting point; a single element of light or heat propagated continuously; as, a solar ray; a polarized ray..

Polarizer :: Polarizer (n.) That which polarizes; especially, the part of a polariscope which receives and polarizes the light. It is usually a reflecting plate, or a plate of some crystal, as tourmaline, or a doubly refracting crystal..

Polarize :: Polarize (v. t.) To communicate polarity to.

Depolarization :: Depolarization (n.) The act of depriving of polarity, or the result of such action; reduction to an unpolarized condition..

Maltose :: Maltose (n.) A crystalline sugar formed from starch by the action of distance of malt, and the amylolytic ferment of saliva and pancreatic juice. It resembles dextrose, but rotates the plane of polarized light further to the right and possesses a lower cupric oxide reducing power..

Depolarizer :: Depolarizer (n.) A substance used to prevent polarization, as upon the negative plate of a voltaic battery..

Polarization :: Polarization (n.) The act of polarizing; the state of being polarized, or of having polarity..

Depolarize :: Depolarize (v. t.) To deprive of polarity; to reduce to an unpolarized condition.

Polariscope :: Polariscope (n.) An instrument consisting essentially of a polarizer and an analyzer, used for polarizing light, and analyzing its properties..

Polarimeter :: Polarimeter (n.) An instrument for determining the amount of polarization of light, or the proportion of polarized light, in a partially polarized ray..

Levo- :: Levo- () Turning the plane of polarized light to the left; as, levotartaric acid; levoracemic acid; levogyratory crystals, etc..

Polarity :: Polarity (n.) That quality or condition of a body in virtue of which it exhibits opposite, or contrasted, properties or powers, in opposite, or contrasted, parts or directions; or a condition giving rise to a contrast of properties corresponding to a contrast of positions, as, for example, attraction and repulsion in the opposite parts of a magnet, the dissimilar phenomena corresponding to the different sides of a polarized ray of light, etc..

Inactive :: Inactive (a.) Not active; inert; esp., not exhibiting any action or activity on polarized light; optically neutral; -- said of isomeric forms of certain substances, in distinction from other forms which are optically active; as, racemic acid is an inactive tartaric acid..

Depolarize :: Depolarize (v. t.) To free from polarization, as the negative plate of the voltaic battery..

Polarized :: Polarized (imp. & p. p.) of Polariz.

Dextro- :: Dextro- () having the property of turning the plane of polarized light to the right; as, dextrotartaric acid..

Depolarized :: Depolarized (imp. & p. p.) of Depolariz.

Isochromatic :: Isochromatic (a.) Having the same color; connecting parts having the same color, as lines drawn through certain points in experiments on the chromatic effects of polarized light in crystals..

Zinco-polar :: Zinco-polar (a.) Electrically polarized like the surface of the zinc presented to the acid in a battery, which has zincous affinity..
