How sucrose rotate polarized light?

Sucrose, a type of sugar, is a chiral compound, meaning it has a specific spatial arrangement of atoms that allows it to rotate the plane of polarized light. When polarized light passes through a solution of sucrose, the light is rotated to the right, a phenomenon known as right-handed or dextrorotatory rotation. The degree of rotation depends on the concentration of the sucrose solution and the wavelength of the light used. This optical activity is a characteristic property of many chiral substances.
