  1. terminology - What is difference between homogeneous and isotropic ...

    Dec 13, 2014 · Also, isotropic is always homogeneous but the reverse is not true. And another way to say it all is that an isotropic property is invariant under translation and rotation.

  2. What is the reason for isotropy in amorphous solids?

    Jul 8, 2017 · In my book, it's been mentioned that crystalline solids are anisotropic whereas amorphous solids are isotropic in nature. The reason for these has been explained (with a diagram) as: …

  3. What does isotropic space mean? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 31, 2018 · 2 The unit vector r shows that Coulomb's force is parallel to the line joining the charges. It could not be otherwise unless space itself has some built in directional property, for with two point …

  4. kinetic theory - What is isotropy actually & how does it ensure that ...

    Jan 10, 2015 · This is a comment on statistical behavior , and estimates probabilities of motion of a large number of particles. Isotropy means that the probability of moving in one direction is the same as in …

  5. Is the universe truly isotropic? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Mar 7, 2025 · The foundations of cosmology would not collapse if we found clear evidence that the universe is not isotropic in space. We would simply need to adopt cosmological model that included …

  6. terminology - Isotropy and Noise - Physics Stack Exchange

    The field is isotropic if the distribution only depends on the magnitude of the Fourier mode and the Fourier modes are uncorrelated with each other. In cosmology the primordial perturbations are …

  7. What is Meant by Metallic Atoms being "Isotropic"?

    Oct 1, 2024 · Many resources online say that metals are isotropic, in that they have the same properties in all directions, and it is because of their metallic bonds; because metal atoms are treated as point …

  8. homework and exercises - Schwarzschild metric in Isotropic …

    Nov 7, 2014 · The aim of the isotropic coordinates is to write the metric in the form where the spacelike slices are as close as possible to Euclidean. That is, we try to write the metric in the form:

  9. condensed matter - Glass and isotropy - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jul 26, 2011 · Glasses are amorphous materials. Nevertheless, as far as I know, in some areas of Condensed Matter, they consider that the glass is isotropic. Under what restrictions they can do this …

  10. How can crystals be isotropic? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jul 17, 2020 · However these crystals can be isotropic. How is this possible? In my mind isotropic means that no matter the angle of the rotation of the crystal, all its properties are the same. But from …
