← ScienceWhich consequence results when unpolarized light encounters a chiral molecule?
A)Optical activity becomes detectable✓
B)Refractive index shifts uniformly
C)Doppler broadening decreases rapidly
D)Critical angle increases dramatically
💡 Explanation
A chiral molecule causes optical rotation because of circular birefringence, a specific form of polarization; therefore, the plane of polarized light rotates rather than undergoing uniform refraction, Doppler shifts, or increased critical angles because these relate differently to molecular structure.
