← ScienceWhich consequence results when chiral molecules selectively absorb polarized light?
A)Circular birefringence appears✓
B)Rayleigh scattering stops
C)Brewster's angle disappears
D)Fresnel diffraction increases
💡 Explanation
Circular birefringence occurs because chiral molecules exhibit optical activity, inducing rotation in the plane of polarized light. Therefore polarized light rotates, rather than options B/C altering angles or D changing diffraction patterns.
