Which consequence results when stressed polymers transmit polarized light?

💡 Explanation

Birefringence (double refraction) is enhanced because polarized light splits into orthogonal components differently affected by the refractive index tensor due to applied stress; therefore, stress patterns become visible, rather than only spectral shifts which need more complex conditions.
