Why left and right circularly polarized light have different index of refraction in chiral media?
This is a followup question of (Dependence of the angle of rotation on the wavelength of plane polarized light).
Ron's answer tells about the difference between left and right circularly polarized ...

Dependence of the angle of rotation on the wavelength of plane polarized light
Wavelength difference is a big deal, I know. It can solely change the whole interaction between the chiral molecule & the light. But I am not sure what's the mechanism by which light of different ...
