As we saw in Section 8.10, substances such as sugar and insulin are optically active; they rotate the plane of polarization in proportion to both the path length and the concentration of the solution. A glass vessel is placed between a pair of crossed HN-50 linear polarizers, and 50% of the natural light incident on the first polarizer is transmitted through the second polarizer. By how much did the sugar solution in the cell rotate the light passed by the first polarizer?
