Which consequence results when inconsistent crystalline alignment distorts polarization?

💡 Explanation

Birefringence occurs because inconsistent crystalline alignment causes different refractive indices based on polarization direction; therefore a double image effect becomes visible, rather than the other listed reflective or transmissive phenomena.
