The Opposite(Antonym) of “anisotropic”
The antonyms of anisotropic are isotropic and uniform. The antonyms isotropic and uniform convey a state of uniformity or homogeneity. It implies that the properties of an object or material are the same in all directions.
Definitions and Examples of isotropic, uniform
Learn when and how to use these words with these examples!
Having the same physical properties in all directions.
Example
The material is isotropic, meaning it has the same strength in all directions.
Not varying or changing; staying the same throughout.
Example
The temperature remained uniform throughout the day, with no significant fluctuations.
Key Differences: isotropic vs uniform
- 1Isotropic refers to a material or object having the same physical properties in all directions.
- 2Uniform refers to a state of not varying or changing, staying the same throughout.
Effective Usage of isotropic, uniform
- 1Science and Engineering: Use anisotropic to describe materials or objects that have different physical properties in different directions, and use isotropic to describe those that have the same physical properties in all directions.
- 2Mathematics: Use isotropic to describe geometric figures that have the same properties in all directions.
- 3Statistics: Use uniform to describe a distribution where all values have an equal chance of occurring.
Remember this!
The antonyms have distinct meanings: Isotropic refers to a material or object having the same physical properties in all directions, while uniform refers to a state of not varying or changing, staying the same throughout. Use these words in science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics to describe materials, objects, geometric figures, and distributions.
