User: what is the meaning of dichroism in chemistry?

Weegy: Dichroism has two related but distinct meanings in optics. [ A dichroic material is either one which causes visible light to be split up into distinct beams of different wavelengths (colours) (not to be confused with dispersion), or one in which light rays having different polarizations are absorbed by different amounts. ]

The meaning of dichroism in chemistry is the property of some crystals and solutions of absorbing one of two plane-polarized components of transmitted light more strongly than the other.
