← ScienceWhich consequence results when a polarizing filter misaligns?
A)Stress increases materials birefringence
B)Intensity drops obey Malus's law✓
C)Refractive index becomes non-uniform
D)Fresnel drag increases noticeably
💡 Explanation
If a polarizing filter misaligns, the transmitted intensity drops obeying Malus's law because the polarization axes are no longer perfectly aligned, therefore intensity diminishes rather than refractive changes or stress-induced effects which require different causal factors.
