A. INTRODUCTION
 Polarimetry is one of the important instrumental methods
employed in analysis. This measures the rotation of the
polarized light as it passes through an optically active
compound. This technique involves the measurement of
change in the direction of vibration of polarized light
when interact with an optically active compound. A
substance is said to be optically active if it rotates the plane
of the polarized light.
B. PLANE POLARISED LIGHT
 According to wave theory of light, an ordinary ray
light is considered to be vibrating in all planes at right
angle to the direction of propagation. If this ordinary
ray of light is passed through a Nicol prism, the
emergent ray has its vibration only in one plane. This
light having wave motion in only one plane is known
as Plane Polarised Light.

 A plane polarized light which consists of two components of fixed
magnitude rotating in opposite directions to one another;
 The right circulatory polarized light
 The left circulatory polarized light
 Plane polarized light is the vector sum of these two components
C. OPTICALACTIVITY
 Definition
 It Has find that magnitude of rotation depend upon the
following factors:
1. Nature of Substance
2. Length of liquid column ( l ) through which light
passes.
3. Concentration of the solution.
4. Nature of the solvent.
5. Temperature of the solution (t)
6. Wavelength of the light used
 The Rotatory Power of a given solution is generally
expressed as specific rotation. It is the number of
degress of rotation of plane polarized light produced by
one gram of the substance per 100 ml. The measurement
is carried out at temp using sodium light. The Specific
rotation can be Calculated by the following relation:
 [留] = specific rotation, T = temperature,
 了 = wavelength, 慮= optical rotation,
 c = concentration in g/100ml, l = optical path length in
dm.
 Types of molecules analysed by Polarimetry:
1. Molecule must be Optically active.
2. Optically Active molecule contain asymmetric carbon
atom.
D. Theory of Optical Activity
 An optically active substance is one that rotates the plane
of polarized light
Example: (1) Lactic acid
Dextro= right designated by d, (+), clockwise
Levo= left designated by l, (-), counterclockwise
 Configuration:
E. INSTRUMENTATION
