Which consequence occurs when crossed polarizers transmit visible light?

💡 Explanation

Birefringence analysis uses crossed polarizers; regions under stress rotate polarized light because of differential refractive indices causing constructive interference; therefore defects areas are illuminated, rather than uniform transmission, which happens in unstressed materials.
