optical activity."
Optical activity is reciprocal, i.e. it is the same for
opposite directions of wave
propagation through an
optically active medium...

Optically active additive (OAA) is an
organic or
inorganic material which, when
added to a coating,
makes that
coating react to
ultraviolet light. This...

instrument used to
measure optical rotation: the
angle of
rotation caused by p****ing
linearly polarized light through an
optically active substance. Some chemical...

optically active”.
Specific rotation is an
intensive property,
distinguishing it from the more
general phenomenon of
optical rotation. As...
