  2. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    A polarimeter [1] is a scientific instrument used to measure optical rotation: the angle of rotation caused by passing linearly polarized light through an optically active substance. [ 2 ] Some chemical substances are optically active, and linearly polarized (uni-directional) light will rotate either to the left (counter-clockwise) or right ...

  3. Polarimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimetry

    A simple polarimeter to measure this rotation consists of a long tube with flat glass ends, into which the sample is placed. At each end of the tube is a Nicol prism or other polarizer. Light is shone through the tube, and the prism at the other end, attached to an eye-piece, is rotated to arrive at the region of complete brightness or that of ...

  4. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l.

  5. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Optical activity is measured using a polarized source and polarimeter. This is a tool particularly used in the sugar industry to measure the sugar concentration of syrup, and generally in chemistry to measure the concentration or enantiomeric ratio of chiral molecules in solution.

    Many different geochronological methods have been developed, using various Earth materials and geological processes as proxies. Among these methods, spectroradiometry has recently emerged as a valuable tool in dating techniques, particularly in tephrochronology and surface dating applications. [24] [25] Tephra horizons as shown in an outcrop at ...
