← ScienceWhich consequence results when analyzing polarized light through materials under stress?
A)Material's inherent color is highlighted
B)Stress distribution becomes visually apparent✓
C)Refractive index remains completely uniform
D)Optical path length difference vanishes
💡 Explanation
Stress causes temporary birefringence, therefore exhibiting different refractive indices depending on polarization. Photoelasticity will visually reveal the stress distribution because stress alters the material’s polarization response, rather than highlighting color or reducing optical path differences.
