Optically active
(gcide) | Optically \Op"tic*al*ly\, adv.
1. By optics or sight.
[1913 Webster]
2. With reference to optics.
[1913 Webster]
Optically active, Optically inactive (Chem. Physics),
terms used of certain isomeric substances which, while
identical with each other in other respects, differ in
this, viz., that they do or do not produce right-handed or
left-handed circular polarization of light. See {optical
activity}.
Optically positive, Optically negative. See under
Refraction.
[1913 Webster] |
optically active
(gcide) | optical activity \optical activity\ n. (Chem.)

common in biochemical compounds. -- optically active adj.
