← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when plane-polarized light exits sucrose solution?
A)Rotation of polarization plane✓
B)Increased light scattering occurs
C)Frequency shift toward the blue
D)Amplitude remains entirely unchanged
💡 Explanation
The solution is optically active because chiral molecules cause optical rotation via circular birefringence; rather than scattering or shifting frequency, therefore the polarization plane rotates, aligning with changed refractive indices.
