1837Whewell Hist. Induct. Sc. ix. ix. (heading), Discovery of the Laws of Phenomena of Dipolarized Light. Ibid., The effect which the mica produced was termed depolarization; —not a very happy term, since the effect is not the destruction of the polarization, but the combination of a new polarizing influence with the former. The word dipolarization, which has since been proposed, is a much more appropriate expression. Ibid. xi. §4 The phenomena of depolarized, or rather, as I have already said, dipolarized light. Ibid. §5 Fresnel explained very completely..the dipolarizing effect of the crystal; and the office of the analysing plate, by which certain portions of each of the two rays in the crystal are made to interfere and produce colour. 1864H.
