  2. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    In case of optically active isotropic media, the rotation is the same for any direction of wave propagation. In contrast, the Faraday effect is non-reciprocal, i.e opposite directions of wave propagation through a Faraday medium will result in clockwise and anti-clockwise polarization rotation from the point of view of an observer.

  3. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

    It would be considered right-handed/clockwise circularly polarized if defined from the point of view of the receiver. Circular polarization may be referred to as right-handed or left-handed, and clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on the direction in which the electric field vector rotates. Unfortunately, two opposing historical conventions ...

  4. Absolute configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_configuration

    With the hydrogen atom away from the viewer, if the arrangement of the CO→R→N groups around the carbon atom as center is counter-clockwise, then it is the L form. [14] If the arrangement is clockwise, it is the D form. As usual, if the molecule itself is oriented differently, for example, with H towards the viewer, the pattern may be reversed.

  5. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l.

  6. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    In chemistry, it is the clockwise angle between half-planes through two sets of three atoms, having two atoms in common. In solid geometry, it is defined as the union of a line and two half-planes that have this line as a common edge. In higher dimensions, a dihedral angle represents the angle between two hyperplanes.

  8. Clockwise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

    Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW) proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands relative to the observer: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English ) anticlockwise ( ACW ) or (in North American English ) counterclockwise ( CCW ...
