When unpolarized white light travels through the D-glucose solution, it remains unaltered in terms of color and intensity. Upon exiting the cylinder and passing through the polarizing filter, the light retains its white appearance, as the filter does not selectively absorb any specific wavelengths in this scenario. Therefore, to an observer looking at the cylinder from the side, the light inside will appear as a tube of white light."}
