← ScienceWhich consequence results when a stressed transparent polymer undergoes irradiation by polarized light?
A)Birefringence visualizes the stress concentration✓
B)Excitation causes phosphorescence emission
C)Photo-destruction degrades polymer integrity
D)Increased transparency minimizes light scattering
💡 Explanation
Differences in stress create varying refractive indices; therefore, when exposed to polarized light, birefringence allows mapping internal stresses, rather than direct emission or material degradation. Because photoelasticity depends on polarization, the stresses can be optically assessed.
