Optiical activity deals with the ability of a solution to rotate plane polarized light.
Chirality and Optical Activity
Concept #1: Polarimeter
Chiral molecules can rotate plane polarized light and the exact angle of rotation can be calculated with a polarimeter.
If light rotates to the right then the chiral molecule is referred to as dextrorotatory.
If light rotates to the left then the chiral molecule is referred to as levorotatory.
