← ScienceWhich consequence results when stressed polycarbonate degrades polarizer lamination?
A)Increased transmission axis beam steering
B)Non-uniform light intensity transmission✓
C)Improved thermal management coefficient
D)Expanded incident beam wavelength selection
💡 Explanation
Stress-induced damage affects the alignment of polarized light because photoelasticity causes birefringence, generating varied refractive indices which diminish polarization effectiveness rather than enhancing thermal properties, therefore spotty transmission, instead of uniformly transmitting light
