Like the fluid flow, which characterized in to the types of two, i.e.:
 ‘streamline flow’ a crisp case (or boundary) - where the velocities and directions of different
particles through the same point be same; and
 ‘turbulent flow’ a non-crisp case (or region) - where the velocities and directions of different
particles through the same point be different
the action of light beam in space−time perpendicular to the direction of propagation can also be

 ‘polarize light’ a crisp case (or boundary) due to the degree of polarization ( ) = 1 in

satisfaction with the condition that = + − 2. holds to = over

 ‘partially polarize light’ a non-crisp case (or region) due to 0 < < 1 in satisfaction with the
condition that 〈 〉 > 〈 〉 . . (〈 〉 − 〈 〉 ) corresponds ‘unpolarize (or randomly polarize)

Where corresponds the electric-magnetic vector of light and : optical polarization. Polarization 1 is
one of the characteristics of light beam234. Keeping in mind the consideration of streamline flow, where the effect of
