← ScienceWhich effect accompanies vertically polarized light's transmission through birefringent calcite?
A)Polarization state undergoes rotation✓
B)Intensity uniformly increases
C)Wavelength remains constant
D)Frequency will decrease visibly
💡 Explanation
The outgoing polarization rotates because birefringence causes differing refractive indices depending on polarization; therefore, the light will have its polarization changed rather than just pass through, because the electric field components experience different speeds.
