  • In this entirely optional video for my class, we go over why a bunch of randomly oriented chiral (optically active) molecules can consistently rotate polarized light. We talk about the nature of light, how to make polarized light, and how polarized light interacts with randomly oriented molecules to consistently rotate in one direction or the other. If you're taking my class, you don't need to know any of this information. It's for those who are curious how this all works. For those who are experts in the field, this video will probably seem overly simplistic and leave out a lot of details. I'm OK with that.

    At last I could understand this phenomenon in deep.

    Thanks a lot ! I was wondering how it could happen and searching an explanation on RUclips and you helped me !

    Very well done. I have a question, however. Since the levorotatory and dextrorotatory anti isomers could have either the S or R configuration and it’s not specific to one or the other, how exactly can we analyze which isomer is in which configuration and why is it not specific?

    So are you telling me that, when light enters a polarizer its orientation or direction is limited to the polarizer design. But, since (you argue) linear light is actually two photons of light perfectly opposite in rotation, then once light enter a polirimeter the two components then continue their respective rotation (in opposite directions) and so the result or the measured rotation will be because one of the two photons rotation was interacting/refracts more with the molecule in the polarimeter?
    So, does this also mean that when a scientist chooses a specific wavelength of light to pass through a polarimeter, that light still rotates like a spring? Excluding the presence of chiral molecules: will green light passing through a poalrimeter rotate?
