Plane-polarized monochromatic light is rotated in an optically active medium. The extent of the rotation is wavelength dependent, following an optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) curve. Typically, this phenomenon is studied by using a few discrete wave... Read More about Optical rotation of white light.
