Difference between Degree of polarization and Polarization (waves)

Degree of polarization vs. Polarization (waves)

Degree of polarization (DOP) is a quantity used to describe the portion of an electromagnetic wave which is polarized. Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations.

Similarities between Degree of polarization and Polarization (waves)

Degree of polarization and Polarization (waves) have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axial ratio, Circular polarization, Electromagnetic radiation, Elliptical polarization, Linear polarization, Polarization (waves), Stokes parameters.

Axial ratio

Axial ratio, for any structure or shape with two or more axes, is the ratio of the length (or magnitude) of those axes to each other - the longer axis divided by the shorter.

Circular polarization

In electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electric field of the wave has a constant magnitude but its direction rotates with time at a steady rate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

Elliptical polarization

In electrodynamics, elliptical polarization is the polarization of electromagnetic radiation such that the tip of the electric field vector describes an ellipse in any fixed plane intersecting, and normal to, the direction of propagation.
