Answer:
The specific rotation is a substance-specific physical parameter, which can be determined by a polarimeter. It depends on the temperature and the wavelength of the light. For some samples this value depends on the concentration as well.

The factors on which specific rotation depends are:
- A polarimeter can be used to determine the particular rotation of a substance.
- It is determined by the light's wavelength and temperature.
- The measured specific rotation [α ]obs is affected by the tube length, the wavelength utilized for acquisition, the concentration of the optically active molecule (enantiomer), and, to some extent, temperature.
