Which outcome occurs when optically anisotropic material undergoes stress?

💡 Explanation

Stress causes temporary anisotropy, making the refractive index dependent on polarization, leading to stress-induced birefringence because the material becomes doubly refracting. Therefore, birefringence happens rather than altering spectral properties or total reflection effects.
