quantized

1. (physics) Expressed or existing only in terms of discrete quanta; limited by the restrictions of quantization (i.e. measurement).Examples: "This is very clear for the standing waves on a guitar string: the fundamental has a wavelength of twice the length of the string, and the next longest allowed wavelength is equal to the length of the string. There is no standing wave with a wavelength between these two and so we can say that the allowed wavelengths on a guitar string are quantized."
