Polarimetry

Description

Polarimetry is a technique used for the chemical analysis of organic compounds, particularly those that are optically active. By measuring the rotation of polarized light as it passes through a solution containing the solute, polarimetry provides qualitative and quantitative information about the substance being analyzed. The degree of rotation is influenced by the nature of the optically active species, the wavelength of light, and the length of the light path in the solution.
