Which risk increases when analyzing birefringent material stress using polarimetry?

💡 Explanation

Variable sample orientation impacts polarization analysis; using polarimetry causes signal rotations from induced birefringence, because Malus's Law relates intensity to the cosine squared of the angle between polarizer and analyzer. Therefore ambiguous signals occur, rather than chromatic artifacts, thermal issues, or laser damage.
