Which outcome occurs when light enters chiral media?

💡 Explanation

Optical activity results because plane-polarized light experiences varying refractive indices. This differential refraction (circular birefringence) effects Optical rotation of the plane, therefore rotation occurs. Rather than wavelength shifts, light's polarization changes.
