Which risk increases when circularly polarized light passes through chiral solutions?

💡 Explanation

Optical activity (polarization) in chiral solutions rotates the polarization direction because circularly polarized light consists of two orthogonal, linearly polarized components that propagate at slightly different speeds. Therefore, increased polarization rotation occurs, rather than signal boosting without chiral interaction.
