hii dear!!
here ur answer!!
______________
>>>>>Optical activity refers to whether or not a compound has optical isomers. A coordinate compound that is optically active has optical isomers and a coordinate compound that is not optically active does not have optical isomers. As we will discuss later, optical isomers have the unique property of rotating light. When light is shot through a polarimeter, optical isomers can rotate the light so it comes out in a different direction on the other end. Armed with the knowledge of symmetry and mirror images, optical isomers should not be very difficult. There are two ways optical isomers can be determined: using mirror images or using planes of symmetry.
>>Optical isomers do not exhibit symmetry and do not have identical mirror images. Let's go through a quick review of symmetry and mirror images. A mirror image of an object is that object flipped or the way the object would look in front of a mirror. For example, the mirror image of your left hand would be your right hand. Symmetry on the other hand refers to when an object looks exactly the same when sliced in a certain direction with a plane. For example imagine the shape of a square. No matter in what direction it is sliced, the two resulting images will be the same....

FOR FINDING OPTICAL ISO,ISOMERS
If 'n' is even (here n is the number of chiral centres): Number of enantiomers = 2 n − 1. Number of meso compounds = 2 n / 2 − 1. Total number of optical isomers = 2 n − 1 + 2 n / 2 − 1.
If 'n' is odd: Number of enantiomers = 2 n − 1 − 2 ( n − 1 ) / 2. Number of meso compounds = 2 ( n − 1 ) / 2.
