Which consequence occurs when circularly polarized light encounters anisotropic material?

A)Elliptical polarization state transformation
B)Complete destructive wave interference
C)Wavelength compression remains constant
D)Increased optical signal backscattering

💡 Explanation

The polarization state changes because birefringence, a form of double refraction, induces differential phase shift, causing elliptical polarization rather than complete interference; therefore, the material's asymmetry alters the initially circular wave, and wavelengths propagate unequally.
