Interaction of light and matter If light enters matter, its intensity (amplitude), polarization, velocity, wavelength, etc. may alter. The two basic phenomena of the interaction of light and matter are absorption (or extinction) and a decrease in velocity. 3 16.11.2010 Interaction of light and matter Absorption means that the intensity (amplitude) of light decreases in matter because matter absorbs a part of the light. (Intensity is the square of amplitude.) Interaction of light and matter The decrease in velocity (i.e. the slowdown) of light in matter is caused by the fact that all materials (even materials that do not absorb light at all) have a refraction index, which means that the velocity of light is smaller in them than in vacuum.

  • Chapter 1: Optical Activity and Polarimetry
    Chapter 1: Optical Activity and Polarimetry Chiral, non-racemic compounds have the ability to rotate polarized light. This phenomenon is known as circular birefringence, and is where the phrase “optically active” comes from. The specific rotation of a material is an intrinsic, constant value at a given temperature and wavelength of light; specific rotation can be found by using polarimetry. 1.1 Optical Activity Normal light contains a mixture of all vibrational directions that are perpendicular to the direction of travel. We can use polarized filters to block most of the components of normal light and only allow through one direction of polarization (Figure 1-1). Figure 1-1: Polarized light vibrates only in one plane, while normal light vibrates in all planes. When we use two filters in series, the first one is called the polarizer (because it converts the light to polarized light) and the second is called the analyzer (because it allows you to analyze the light you just polarized). If the polarizer and analyzer are parallel to each other, the polarized light gets through fine. But if they’re at right angles, no light can pass through the analyzer, as shown in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2: Whether polarized light can pass through the analyzer depends on its orientation to the polarizer. Since optical activity gives a compound the ability to rotate plane-polarized light, we can put a sample of the compound in between the polarizer and analyzer. This will rotate the light, allowing some of it to get through the analyzer even when the filters are at right angles (Figure 1-3).

  • Inverted Sugar Syrup - Wikipedia
    Inverted sugar syrup - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup Inverted sugar syrup Inverted sugar syrup (also called invert syrup , or simply invert Invert sugar sugar ) is an edible mixture of two simple sugars—glucose and fructose— that is made by heating sucrose (table sugar) with water. [1] It is thought to be sweeter than table sugar, [2] and foods that contain it retain moisture and crystallize less easily. Bakers, who call it invert syrup , may use it more than other sweeteners.[3] Though inverted sugar syrup can be made by heating table sugar in water alone, the reaction can be sped up by adding lemon juice, cream of tartar or other catalysts often without changing the flavor noticeably. Identifiers The mixture of the two simple sugars is formed by a process of hydrolysis of sucrose. This mixture has the opposite direction of optical rotation as the CAS Number 8013-17-0 (http://ww original sugar, which is why it is called an invert sugar. w.commonchemistry. org/ChemicalDetail.a spx?ref=8013-17-0) Contents ChEMBL ChEMBL1201647 (ht Chemistry tps://www.ebi.ac.uk/c Optical rotation Definition and measurement hembldb/index.php/c Definition of the inversion point ompound/inspect/Ch Chirality and specific rotation EMBL1201647) Effects of water ChemSpider none Mixtures in general Fully hydrolyzed sucrose ECHA 100.029.446 (https:// Partly hydrolyzed sucrose InfoCard echa.europa.eu/subs Monitoring reaction progress tance-information/-/s Production ubstanceinfo/100.02 9.446) Shelf life In other foods and products PubChem 21924868 (https://pu CID See also bchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.

  • Testing the Chirality of Glucose Using a Homemade Polarimeter
    CALIFORNIA STATE SCIENCE FAIR 2016 PROJECT SUMMARY Name(s) Project Number Greta M. van den Bergh 36566 Project Title Testing the Chirality of Glucose Using a Homemade Polarimeter Abstract Objectives/Goals My objective is to come up with a way to test the Chirality of Glucose. Knowing the Chirality of a molecule is important when developing substances that will go into the body since the body is a chiral environment. Can a homemade polarimeter be used as a first step in measuring the chirality of Glucose, a known Chiral molecule? Also, will the angle of rotation of plane polarized light increase with a greater concentration of Glucose or a longer path length through the solution? Methods/Materials Polarizer, Analyzer, Light Corn Syrup (Glucose) in four concentrations (0%,25%, 50%, 100%), Water, Four PVC tubes glued to a pane of glass to put the solutions in, iPad as a light source, camera, Analyzer stand, Lazy Susan, 16'x16' butcher block paper, Ruler, Protractor. In this experiment I use an iPad for a constant light source, two polarizers, one to polarize the light before entering the sugar solutions, and the other to analyze the outgoing light. The polarizer is rotated relative to the analyzer in order to get the minimum light through the system. This is where the polarizer and analyzer are at 90deg to each other. This technique was used for each solution concentration to see the angle differences where the minimum light occurred. This will give us the degree of polarization rotation. The 0% solution is our reference point, because water is non-chiral.

  • Optical Polarimetry
    Optical Polarimetry In a typical polarimetry experiment, monochromatic light is passed through the sample. A sodium lamp is usually used as the light source and the wavelength of its D line is 589.3 nm. The light provided by the source is not polarized so its electromagnetic waves oscillate in all planes perpendicular to the transverse axis. After passing through a polarizing lens (prism), the only light remaining is oscillating in one plane (plane polarized), whose angle is determined by the angle of the lens itself. This light is then passed through a solution of an optically active compound, which results in a rotation of the plane of oscillation. A second polarizing lens (prism) is used in conjunction with a detector to find the angle of rotation. The magnitude of the rotation is not only determined by the intrinsic properties of the molecule, but also on the concentration, path length, and wavelength of light. These parameters should be familiar from use of a UV/Vis spectrometer. In order to standardize the optical rotations reported in the literature, a parameter has been defined as the specific rotation [α] : λ The parameters are α the rotation measured by the polarimeter in degrees meas λ the wavelength used to measure the rotation in nanometers l the path length in decimeters (usually this is 2 dm, note that 1 dm = 0.1 m or 10 cm) c the concentration measured in g/mL Normally [α] values are quoted in the literature at 20 ºC. There is a slight temperature λ dependence on optical rotation, which can be corrected using: [α] (20 ºC) = [α] (T) [1 + 0.0001(T - 20)] λ λ The percent optical purity (x) of a material is the ratio of the measured specific rotation, [α] , to the standard pure specific rotation, [α] , where x = [α] /[α] *100.

  • Optical Rotation
    Polarimetry Polarimetry is an instrumental analytical method using rotation of polarized light by some substances as a measure of their concentration in a solution. The instrument used is called a polarimeter. When it is adapted for measuring quality of sugar the name saccharimeter is used. In both instruments it is the rotation of polarized light by a substance in a solution which is measured. Usually, it is only one instrument which has two interchangeable scales, one labelled in angular degrees 0, the other in units 0Z, named International Sugar Scale (I.S.S.). Polarimeter Figure 1 shows a principle of a polarimeter set up and its main components together with their function. Unpolarized light from the light source is first polarized. This polarized light passes through a sample cell. If an optical active substance is in a sample tube, the plane of the polarized light waves is rotated. The rotation is noticed by looking through the analyser as a change in intensity of illumination. To reach the same illumination as was without an optical active sample the analyser must be turned around for an angle. Readings are taken in degrees (angle) α or sugar degrees 0Z. Figure 1: a) principle of a polarimeter set up b) components of a polarimeter 1 Figure 2 shows polarizer (P) and analyzer (A) in a perpendicular position with one another. Both have the structure on a molecular level that polarize an unpolarized light. If they are in a position shown no light passes through analyzer. Polaroid films for example have such a molecular structure that filters (block) all planes of light vibrations except one.

Light reflected by biological materials such as algae and leaves therefore exhibits a small amount of circular polarization that strongly depends on wavelength. Our Life Signature Detection polarimeter (LSDpol) is optimized to measure these signatures of life. LSDpol is a compact spectropolarimeter concept with no moving parts that instantaneously measures linear and circular polarization averaged over the field of view with a sensitivity of better than 10-4. We expect to launch the instrument into orbit after validating its performance on the ground and from aircraft. LSDpol is based on a spatially varying quarter-wave retarder that is implemented with a patterned liquid-crystal. It is the first optical element to maximize the polarimetric sensitivity. Since this pattern as well as the entrance slit of the spectrograph have to be imaged onto the detector, the slit serves as the aperture, and an internal field stop limits the field of view.
