Calculate Optical Activity







Formula

The formula to calculate the Optical Activity is:

\[ \alpha = \frac{\theta}{L \cdot C_x} \]

Where:

Definition

Optical activity is the ability of certain substances to rotate the plane of polarization of light passing through them.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \alpha = \frac{0.274016692563058}{0.35 \cdot 0.4} \]

Evaluating:

\[ \alpha = 1.95726208973613 \]

The Optical Activity is 1.95726208973613.
