← ScienceWhich risk arises when two orthogonal linearly polarized laser beams interfere?
A)Photobleaching of intersecting organic molecules
B)Increased constructive interference efficiency observed
C)Incorrect birefringence measurement estimation recorded
D)Complete absence of observable interference fringes✓
💡 Explanation
Complete darkness results because orthogonal polarization prevents interference; Polarization Filtering blocks the electric fields from aligning. Therefore, no interference occurs, rather than typical fringe patterns from constructively/destructively interfering beams, implying specific phase relationships.
