← ScienceWhich risk increases when circularly polarized light passes through chiral solutions?
A)Differential signal amplification occurs
B)Racemization catalyst contamination accelerates
C)Polarization direction rotation increases✓
D)Quantum entanglement decoherence emerges
💡 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.
