Optical Activity of 2-Bromobutane Enantiomers

Consider the compound 2-bromobutane, which can exist as two enantiomers due to the presence of a chiral center at the second carbon atom. Two students, Alex and Jamie, are discussing the potential optical activities of these enantiomers. Alex claims that both enantiomers will rotate plane-polarized light in the same direction but to different extents. Jamie argues that each enantiomer will rotate the light in opposite directions. Further, they decide to investigate the possibility of preparing a racemic mixture of 2-bromobutane. Which of the following statements accurately represents the properties of the compounds and their interactions with plane-polarized light?
