Which consequence results when anisotropic material incorrectly aligns polarization?

💡 Explanation

Misalignment causes birefringence errors, because the incorrect phase retardation affects the polarization. This leads to reduced image contrast in devices utilizing cross-polarizers, therefore image clarity suffers, rather than mechanical or electrical disturbances that require different mechanisms.
