plane polarised light

Gives a simple explanation of plane polarised light and the effect optical isomers have on it.

plane polarised light PLANE POLARISED LIGHT This page gives a simple explanation of what plane polarised light is and the way it is affected by optically active compounds. A simple analogy - "plane polarised string" Imagine tying a piece of thick string to a hook in a wall, and then shaking the string vigorously. The string will be vibrating in all possible directions - up-and-down, side-to-side, and all the directions in-between - giving it a really complex overall motion. Now, suppose you passed the string through a vertical slit. The string is a really snug fit in the slit. The only vibrati
