← ScienceWhich consequence results when birefringent material transmits unpolarized light?
A)Double refraction splits into rays✓
B)Reflected wave cancels incident light
C)Diffraction rings become more defined
D)Polarization rotates via chiral interactions
💡 Explanation
Double refraction occurs because the material's refractive index differs based on light polarization; therefore, two rays emerge after refraction splits the unpolarized light, rather than light being cancelled/rotating/diffracting because birefringence acts on polarization.
