Question

the amount of rotation of plane of polarised light does not depend upon?

Answer 1

here is yøur answer

For a given substance, the angle by which the polarization of light of a specified wavelength is rotated is proportional to the path length through the material and (for a solution) proportional to its concentration. Optical activity is measured using a polarized source and polarimeter.

Answer 2

The amount of rotation of plane of polarised light does not depend upon the number of asymmertric carbon atoms in the molecule of substance or on the specific rotation.

Explanation:

• The phenomenon of rotation of plane polarized light to a specific direction is referred to as optical activity.
• When plane polarized light is passed through a substance with a chiral centre,the substance will rotate the plane polarized light towards left or right.

• The degree of rotation can be measured using a polarimeter.
• The amount of rotation of plane of polarised light t depends upon number of molecules present in the smaple and also on the nature of the incident beam.
• But the amount of rotation of plane of polarised light does not depend upon the number of asymmertric carbon atoms in the molecule of substance or on the specific rotation.
