Which consequence typically occurs when strong, unpolarized light encounters a chiral liquid crystal whose molecules exhibit intrinsic birefringence?

💡 Explanation

A selective polarization rotation emerges because circular dichroism, a type of birefringence acting as the mechanism, absorbs one circularly polarized component more strongly than the other; therefore the polarization plane rotates, rather than optical enhancement or incoherent effects occurring.
