Which outcome occurs when plane-polarized light enters dextrose solution?

💡 Explanation

Optical rotation occurs because the chiral dextrose molecules cause a phenomenon called circular birefringence; therefore, the plane of polarization rotates. Rather than chromatic aberration or interference, dextrose's chirality dictates optical activity.
