ROTATABLE LINEAR ANALYZER—DETECTOR.
device through which only light waves oscillating in a single plane may pass.
Polarizer:
an instrument used to determine the angle through which planepolarized light has been rotated by a given sample
Polarimeter
is the component of a polarimeter that allows the angle of rotation of plane-polarized light to be determined.
Analyzer
compounds that rotate the plane of polarized light
Optically active
passing ordinary light through a polarizing device.
Plane-polarized light
One enantiomer will rotate polarized light in a clockwise direction
Dextrorotatory (+):
mirror-image partner; counter-clockwise direction
7. Levorotatory (-):
