Which consequence results when applying compressive stress to polycarbonate?

💡 Explanation

Applying stress induces birefringence because preferential alignment occurs via the photoelastic effect; therefore, refractive index varies with light polarization direction, rather than remaining uniform under lower stress, because orientation is random.
