Which consequence results when a stress-aligned polymer film is illuminated?

💡 Explanation

When polarized light passes through a stressed polymer, chain alignment causes stress-induced birefringence, because differing refractive indices are experienced by light components; therefore, phase differences become observable rather than polymerization, which requires more energy.
