Electromagnetic Radiation Polarization
Unpolarized light Polarization
Polarized light Polarization
Polarizing sun glasses reduce glare of polarized reflections from surfaces Polarization
(b) Polarization
Mirror image of hand Polarization
Optical Isomer and Interaction with Light Enatiomers rotate the plane of polarized light. Dextrorotatory- “d” isomer Complex which rotates plane of polarized light to the right. Levorotatory- “l” isomer Complex which rotates plane of polarized light to the left. Chiral molecules are optically active because effect on light Polarization
