← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when perpendicularly-aligned polarizers are illuminated by unpolarized light?
A)Full blockage of light transmission✓
B)Increased intensity of light emission
C)Shift in the light's frequency
D)Rotation of the light's wavelength
💡 Explanation
Complete blockage results because crossed polarizers exploit polarization to filter orthogonal light components; therefore, no light emerges, because Malus's Law dictates zero transmission, rather than altered intensity or wavelength changes under normal conditions.
