← ScienceWhich transmission outcome occurs when linearly polarized light strikes anisotropic sample?
A)Birefringence causes phase velocity alteration✓
B)Diffraction creates scattering intensity peaks
C)Refraction induces frequency shift changes
D)Absorption generates thermal gradient effects
💡 Explanation
Birefringence causes splitting into two rays with different refractive indices due to polarization alignment with varying crystal axes; therefore, phase velocity alters accordingly, rather than being shifted in frequency or absorbed.
