Question

different types of polarization of light. Explain (use well-labeled drawings) how circularly polarized light can be described as the superposition of two orthogonal co-propagating linearly polarized waves or how linearly polarized light can be described as the superposition of two co-propagating counter-rotating circularly polarized waves. What assumptions are we making about the two waves to make this the case? Describe how circularly polarized light can be created from a single wavelength (e.g. a sodium lamp) unpolarized light source. Describe how we would set up a polarimetry experiment. How is this a special case of the optical rotary dispersion experiment? What types of molecules give rise to signals that are observed in a polarimeter?

Explanation / Answer

polarimeter is used to determine specific rotatory power
