electronic polarization

ionic or atomic polarization

orientation or dipole polarization

space charge polarization

It is a property of certain types of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillation.

there are 4 different types of polarization

1) electronic polarization

2) ionic polarization

3) orientation or dipole polarization

4) space charge or inter facial polarization.

Longitudinal waves doesn't exhibit polarization or diffraction; these to features are for transverse waves.

activation polarization is a polarization due to charge transfer kinetics of the electrochemical process involved.

Polarization is a property of transverse waves.
