← ScienceWhich consequence results when anisotropic crystal orientation polarizes light?
A)Birefringence creates double refraction effects✓
B)Reflectivity minimizes for Brewster angle
C)Destructive interference darkens image
D)Diffraction rings form weaker point sources
💡 Explanation
Birefringence causes polarized light to split into two rays whose speed depend on the refractive index, because the crystal's refractive properties vary with polarization direction; therefore, double refraction emerges near specific crystal facets rather than maximizing reflection from Brewster's angle.
