optical activity
Answers
Answer:
Optical activity is the ability of a chiral molecule to rotate the plane of plane-polairsed light, measured using a polarimeter. ... When light passes through a sample that can rotate plane polarised light, the light appears to dim because it no longer passes straight through the polarising filters.
Answer:
Explanation:
Optical activity, the ability of a substance to rotate the plane of polarization of a beam of light that is passed through it. Because the specific rotation depends upon the temperature and upon the wavelength of the light, these quantities also must be specified.
Optical isomerism is exhibited by at least one asymmetric carbon having four different atoms or groups attached to it. The enantiomers are optically active which are non-superimposable on their image.
