Which outcome occurs when resonant frequencies align within photonic crystal band gaps?

💡 Explanation

Light becomes localized because the photonic crystal’s band gap inhibits propagation at those frequencies; this triggers the mechanism of Anderson Localization. Therefore, light concentrates rather than propagating, and the refractive index remains non-uniform.
