← ScienceWhich consequence results when unpolarized calibration light encounters stressed polymer?
A)Birefringence alters polarization state✓
B)Fluorescence masks intended signal
C)Harmonic generation boosts frequency
D)Diffraction enhances edge visibility
💡 Explanation
Stress causes birefringence that splits light into two orthogonal polarization modes depending on the stress magnitude; therefore polarized light changes, rather than fluorescence or harmonic generation arising, because those require resonant transitions.
