Which effect demonstrates destructive interference when polarized light passes through birefringent material?

💡 Explanation

Stress fringes are a result of Photoelasticity, occurring because polarized light experiences varying refractive indices under stress, resulting in changing polarization states. These states then interfere destructively depending on stress, therefore resulting in stress fringes, rather than alternative optical phenomena under different mechanisms.
