Which consequence results when a laser beam encounters birefringent crystal?

💡 Explanation

The laser light splits into two beams because of double refraction, named birefringence; the incident wave separates based on polarization alignments with the crystal lattice. This separation occurs rather than a color change because it directly affects wave propagation, therefore distinct wavevectors emerge.
