Each enantiomer will rotate the light in a different sense, clockwise or counterclockwise.
From the en.wikipedia.org
An enantiomer can be named by the direction in which it rotates the plane of polarized light.

In chemistry, such a molecule is called an enantiomer or is said to exhibit chirality or enantiomerism.

- Enantiomorph: either one of a pair of compounds (crystals or molecules) that are mirror images on each other but are not identical
- One of a pair of stereoisomers that is the mirror image of the other, but may not be superimposed on this other stereoisomer. Almost always, a pair of enantiomers contain at least one chiral center, and a sample of either enantiomer will be optically active
- (enantiomers) Molecules which exist in two nonsuperimposable mirror images, analogous to human hands. ...
- (Enantiomers) have - when present in a symmetric environment - identical chemical and physical properties except for their ability to rotate plane-polarized light by equal amounts but in opposite directions.
- Is a molecule that is not superimposable on its mirror image, related to chirality
- ICH Draft Guideline on Impurities in Drug Substances, FR V.59, No. 183, Sept. 22, 1994: Means compounds with the same molecular formula as the drug substance, which differ in the arrangement of atoms within the molecule and are nonsuperimposable mirror images.
- One of the two mirror-image forms of an optically active molecule.
- In chemistry, a special class of stereoisomers whose structure is not superimposable on its mirror image; a chiral molecule. Two enantiomers of a compound have identical chemical properties, but differ in a characteristic physical property, the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light.
