(physics) The kinetic energy of a rotating rigid body otherwise at rest.

plural of axis of rotation

(physics) An interaction between a polarized electromagnetic pulse, such as a beam of light, and a magnetic field, in which the plane of polarization is rotated in proportion to the intensity of the component of the magnetic field in the direction of travel of the pulse.
