Summary
The polarisation characteristics of the light scattered by single crystals of sodium and potassium tartrates have been investigated using the mercury resonance radiation as exciter. The study revealed that the behaviour of the Raman lines in sodium tartrate and potassium tartrate satisfied the selection rules for the orthorhombic and monoclinic symmetry respectively.
