← ScienceWhich performance decline occurs when a polarizing filter is misaligned?
A)Reduced light transmission efficiency✓
B)Increased refractive index aberration
C)Harmonic frequency energy generation
D)Amplified stimulated neutron scattering
💡 Explanation
Light transmission declines because *Malus's Law* dictates intensity falls with the cosine squared the of angle between the polarizer's transmission axis and oriented light; therefore intensity decreases, rather than aberrant refraction happening, because filters' orientation changes with applied forces.
