Introduction to Linear Polarized light and interaction with chiral...

This video provides an introduction to linear polarized light and its interaction with chiral materials (0:39). It explains that linearly polarized light is a combination of right and left circularly polarized light (5:52). When this light passes through a chiral medium, two phenomena occur: circular birefringence (19:41), which causes the rotation of the plane of polarization, and circular dichroism (23:38), which results in elliptical polarization due to differential absorption. The video concludes by introducing optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and the Cotton effect (34:50), which describes how the rotation varies with wavelength, especially within the absorption region of a chiral molecule.
