Definition: A style of painting where small dots of color are applied to create an image that blends together when viewed from a distance.

Example: Georges Seurat is famous for his use of pointillism in his artwork.

Definition: Relating to a painting technique that uses small dots of color to create an image.

Example: The artist's pointillist style gives the painting a unique texture and depth.

Definition: An artist who creates images using small dots of color instead of traditional brush strokes.

Example: The pointillist created a beautiful landscape using only tiny dots of paint.

Definition: Relating to a style of painting or art that uses small dots of color to create an image, or describing something that is very detailed and made up of many small parts.

Example: The artist's pointillistic technique created a vibrant and textured landscape.

Definition: A device that measures how much the direction of polarized light is rotated when it passes through a material or sample.

Example: The scientist used a polarimeter to analyze the sugar content in the solution.

Definition: Related to the measurement of the polarization of light using a specific instrument.

Example: The researchers used polarimetric techniques to analyze the light reflected from the surface.

Definition: The process of measuring the polarization of light or other electromagnetic waves using a special instrument called a polarimeter.

Example: Scientists use polarimetry to study the properties of light in various materials.

Definition: A device used to measure or display the properties of polarized light and to study how it interacts with transparent materials.

Example: The scientist used a polariscope to analyze the crystal's optical properties.

Definition: Relating to a device that measures the polarization of light or the effects of polarized light.

Example: The scientist used a polariscopic method to analyze the crystal structure.

Definition: The quality or condition of having two opposite or contrasting aspects, often related to physical properties or ideas.

Example: The polarity of the magnet determines which way it will attract other objects.

Definition: The ability of a system of electric charges to become polarized when an external electric field is applied.

Example: The polarizability of the material affects how it interacts with electric fields.
