Which consequence increases when light passes through chiral molecules?

A)Signal loss due to birefringence
B)Photochromism signal alters reversibly
C)Circular dichroism demonstrates absorption changes
D)Non-linear optics generate new harmonics

💡 Explanation

Circularly polarized light interacts differently with chiral molecules, because differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light leads to circular dichroism, therefore a change in the polarization state, rather than alternatives which need external fields or high intensities.
