CONT

Dans les substances optiquement actives, non seulement les indices [...] mais encore les coefficients d'absorption sont différents pour les vibrations circulaires droite et gauche. Il en résulte que, dans la traversée d'une telle substance, les modules des vecteurs [...] [D et G] sont différents et leur résultante est une vibration polarisée elliptiquement : c'est le phénomène appelé dichroïsme circulaire.
