optical activity is the rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials.
Optical activity occurs only in chiral materials, those lacking microscopic mirror symmetry..

Optical activity is the ability of a chiral molecule to rotate the plane of plane-polairsed light, measured using a polarimeter. A simple polarimeter consists of a light source, polarising lens, sample tube and analysing lens.
When light passes through a sample that can rotate plane polarised light, the light appears to dim because it no longer passes straight through the polarising filters. The amount of rotation is quantified as the number of degrees that the analysing lens must be rotated by so that it appears as if no dimming of the light has occurred.
hope it's help you!
