oriented light waves
a property of light or other waves in which their vibrations line up in a particular direction
Mẫu sử dụng:
the polarization of [light/waves]; [linear/circular] polarization
Lỗi thường gặp:

wave alignment (descriptive term rather than the standard technical term)
Từ trái nghĩa

separation of electric charge
when electric charges in a substance move or line up so that one side becomes more positive and another side more negative
Mẫu sử dụng:
the polarization of [a material/molecule/electrode]; [dielectric/electrode/molecular] polarization
Lỗi thường gặp:
Do not use it simply to mean electricity; it refers specifically to charge separation or alignment.

charge separation (clearer and more descriptive, but less broad technically)
|
dipole alignment (more specific; emphasizes aligned positive-negative pairs)
Từ trái nghĩa
