← ScienceWhich effect results when stress-induced birefringence alters polarization?
A)Wavelength-dependent color banding✓
B)Homogeneous chromatic aberrations
C)Uniform refractive index shift
D)Isotropic light scattering pattern
💡 Explanation
Wavelength-dependent color banding occurs because stress-induced birefringence splits light into two polarization components, with differing refractive indices, resulting in interference fringes based on wavelength. Therefore, color separation happens rather than blurring because stress varies across the sample.
