← ScienceWhich consequence results when a cross-polarized setup is misaligned?
A)Partial light transmittance appears✓
B)Complete depolarization occurs rapidly
C)Wavelength shift becomes noticeable
D)Full intensity becomes overwhelming
💡 Explanation
Misalignment causes partial light transmission because the Polarization rotation isn't fully cancelled; therefore, light leaks through, rather than maintaining complete extinction like crossed polarizers should under ideal alignment, nor affecting wavelengths.
