POLARIMETRY - Q8


8) How does the optical activity depend on the state of the substance?
Ans: Optical activity is related to the structure of substance. Right handed and left handed crystals show different rotations. Some substances show optical activity only in crystal state, some only in solution state, some in both states. This is how optical activity depends on the state of the substance.
