← ScienceWhich consequence arises when compressive stress induces birefringence in photography filter glass?
A)Polarization shifts alter light transmission✓
B)Increased fragility reduces lifespan
C)Thermal expansion causes separation
D)Shear modes cause acoustic interference
💡 Explanation
Polarization alterations cause transmission changes because birefringence splits light into orthogonal polarizations, which then interfere based on stress magnitude, therefore altering the filter's output color/intensity characteristics, rather than causing immediate physical degradation under moderate compressive force.
