A solution of dextrorotary (D) isomer (enantiomer) will rotate the plane in which the light was polarized a specific number of degrees to the right (dextro) while a solution containing the same number of levorotary (L) isomer molecules will rotate the plane in which the light was polarized the same number of degrees (as in the D isomer case) to the left (levo). The difference between D and L enantiomers is that the rotations of the plane of plane-polarized light are equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign. Hence, a 50:50 mixture of both enantiomers (known as a racemic mixture) shows no optical activity. That is, a solution containing a 50:50 mixture of enantiomers will not rotate the plane of plane polarized light when it is passed through the solution."}
