← ScienceWhich consequence results when crossed polarizers misalign slightly with their initial extinction axis?
A)Reduced light intensity transmission✓
B)Increased thermal expansion coefficient
C)Amplified phase interference pattern
D)Enhanced spectral wavelength selectivity
💡 Explanation
Light transmission increases via the Malus's Law because a fraction of light polarized by the first filter matches the non-orthogonal transmission axis of the second, therefore light passes rather than complete extinction due to orthogonality.
