← ScienceWhich outcome results when anisotropic material is placed within crossed polarizers?
A)Stress patterns become clearly visible✓
B)Reduced light intensities are uniformly observed
C)Speckle patterns become strongly enhanced
D)Minimal changes in transmission occur
💡 Explanation
Stress induces birefringence dependent on the force, causing different polarization changes. The colors seen in photoelasticity arise because birefringence varies; therefore, stress patterns become apparent using crossed polarizers, rather than uniform darkness.
