- isotropies
English Definitions:
isotropy, symmetry (noun)
(physics) the property of being isotropic; having the same value when measured in different directions
isotropy (Noun)
The property of being identical, or having the same physical properties, in all directions.
Isotropy
Isotropy is uniformity in all orientations; it is derived from the Greek isos and tropos. Precise definitions depend on the subject area. Exceptions, or inequalities, are frequently indicated by the prefix an, hence anisotropy. Anisotropy is also used to describe situations where properties vary systematically, dependent on direction. Isotropic radiation has the same intensity regardless of the direction of measurement, and an isotropic field exerts the same action regardless of how the test particle is oriented.
Isotropy
Isotropy is uniformity in all orientations; it is derived from Ancient Greek ἴσος (ísos) 'equal', and τρόπος (trópos) 'turn, way'. Precise definitions depend on the subject area. Exceptions, or inequalities, are frequently indicated by the prefix a- or an-, hence anisotropy. Anisotropy is also used to describe situations where properties vary systematically, dependent on direction. Isotropic radiation has the same intensity regardless of the direction of measurement, and an isotropic field exerts the same action regardless of how the test particle is oriented.
