Which sensing limitation results when analyzing birefringent crystals?

A)Ambiguous rotation of polarized light
B)Low spectral energy transmittance values
C)Non-reciprocal refractive index shifts
D)Variable sample incident acceptance angle

💡 Explanation

Light polarization rotates depending on crystal thickness; thickness variations produce spatially-varying rotations. This depolarizes the light via multiple **optical rotation**, because crystals have distinct rotation axes, therefore, direction becomes ambiguous, rather than uniform, causing measurement errors.
