The word 'polarizations' is correct and usable in written English
It refers to the process of dividing or causing a division between people, groups, or ideas. Example: The political climate in the country is marked by intense polarizations, with strong divisions between the two major political parties.
When this linearly polarized light passes through the object under examination, it may be unaffected or, if the object is birefringent, it may be split into two beams with different polarizations.
(The polarization of the entering light wave can be described as a combination of two perpendicular polarizations, each with its own wave speed. Because of their different wave speeds, the two polarization components have different indices of refraction, and they therefore refract differently through the material, producing two images).
Second, all forms of collective behaviour contribute to polarizations, forcing people to take sides on issues and eliminating the middle ground.
The chart above is from the invaluable people at Voteview, who use data on Congressional voting to measure political positions and polarizations.
This is something new for Latin America, which has always veered toward obstinate, spit-in-your-eye polarizations over rational political compromises.
Representative Rangel later said in an interview that he had asked Mr. Bloomberg "not to take advantage of the polarizations that exist in the Democratic primary".
They are usually levorotatory (i.e., they rotate the plane of polarization to the left) when polarized light of wavelengths in the visible range is used.
Second, the presence of molecules that are permanent dipoles temporarily distorts the electron charge in other nearby polar or nonpolar molecules, thereby inducing further polarization.
The first scatter would polarize the electrons and the second scatter would analyze the produced polarization, giving rise to an asymmetry.
The beam of light is intercepted by another polarizer (analyzer in this case) set at 90° to the plane of polarization.
That third variable accounts for the boost from voters Mr Abramowitz says incumbents get by virtue of already being in office.For his 2012 forecast, however, Mr Abramowitz tweaked his model by including a fourth variable, which he labels "polarization", that is designed to account for the increasing polarisation of political discourse in America dating back to the 1996 election.
