101Polarization — ( Brit. polarisation) is a property of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. For transverse waves, it describes the orientation of the oscillations in the plane perpendicular to the wave s direction of travel. Longitudinal… …

105Mutarotation — is the change in the optical rotation that occurs by epimerization (that is the change in the equilibrium between two epimers, when the corresponding stereocenters interconvert). Cyclic sugars show mutarotation as α and β anomeric forms… …

107Meso compound — A meso compound or meso isomer is a non optically active member of a set of stereoisomers, at least two of which are optically active.[1][2] This means that despite containing two or more stereocenters (chiral centers) it is not chiral. A meso… …
108Alfvén wave — An Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of magnetohydrodynamic wave. Mathematical definition An Alfvén wave in a plasma is a traveling oscillation of the ions and the magnetic field. The ion mass density provides the inertia and the… …
109Optical instrument — An optical instrument either processes light waves to enhance an image for viewing, or analyzes light waves (or photons) to determine one of a number of characteristic properties. Contents 1 Image enhancement 2 Analysis 3 Other optical devices …
110Homochirality — is a term used to refer to a group of molecules that possess the same sense of chirality. Molecules involved are not necessarily the same compound, but similar groups are arranged in the same way around a central atom. In biology homochirality is …
