From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Polarization \Po`lar*i*za"tion\, n. [Cf. F. polarisation.]       1. The act of polarizing; the state of being polarized, or of             having polarity.          2. (Opt.) A peculiar affection or condition of the rays of             light or heat, in consequence of which they exhibit             different properties in different directions.          Note: If a beam of light, which has been reflected from a                plate of unsilvered glass at an angle of about 56[f8],                be received upon a second plate of glass similar to the                former, and at the same angle of incidence, the light                will be readily reflected when the two planes of                incidence are parallel to each other, but will not be                reflected when the two planes of incidence are                perpendicular to each other. The light has, therefore,                acquired new properties by reflection from the first                plate of glass, and is called polarized light, while                the modification which the light has experienced by                this reflection is called polarization. The plane in                which the beam of light is reflected from the first                mirror is called the plane of polarization. The angle                of polarization is the angle at which a beam of light                must be reflected, in order that the polarization may                be the most complete. The term polarization was derived                from the theory of emission, and it was conceived that                each luminous molecule has two poles analogous to the                poles of a magnet; but this view is not now held.                According to the undulatory theory, ordinary light is                produced by vibrations transverse or perpendicular to                the direction of the ray, and distributed as to show no                distinction as to any particular direction. But when,                by any means, these, vibrations are made to take place                in one plane, the light is said to be plane polarized.                If only a portion of the vibrations lie in one plane                the ray is said to be partially polarized. Light may be                polarized by several methods other than by reflection,                as by refraction through most crystalline media, or by                being transmitted obliquely through several plates of                glass with parallel faces. If a beam of polarized light                be transmitted through a crystal of quartz in the                direction of its axis, the plane of polarization will                be changed by an angle proportional to the thickness of                the crystal. This phenomenon is called rotatory                polarization. A beam of light reflected from a metallic                surface, or from glass surfaces under certain peculiar                conditions, acquires properties still more complex, its                vibrations being no longer rectilinear, but circular,                or elliptical. This phenomenon is called circular or                elliptical polarization.          3. (Elec.) An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic             battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the             deposition upon them of the gases liberated by the action             of the current. It is chiefly due to the hydrogen, and             results in an increase of the resistance, and the setting             up of an opposing electro-motive force, both of which tend             materially to weaken the current of the battery, or that             passing through the cell.
