Difference between Polarization (waves) and Structural coloration

Polarization (waves) vs. Structural coloration

Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. Structural coloration is the production of colour by microscopically structured surfaces fine enough to interfere with visible light, sometimes in combination with pigments.

Similarities between Polarization (waves) and Structural coloration

Polarization (waves) and Structural coloration have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Circular polarization, Light, Refractive index, Thin film, Thin-film interference.

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.

Light

Light is electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Refractive index

In optics, the refractive index or index of refraction of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through that medium.

Thin film

A thin film is a layer of material ranging from fractions of a nanometer (monolayer) to several micrometers in thickness.

Thin-film interference

Thin-film interference is a natural phenomenon in which light waves reflected by the upper and lower boundaries of a thin film interfere with one another, either enhancing or reducing the reflected light.
