Which consequence results when anisotropic crystal orientation polarizes light?

💡 Explanation

Birefringence causes polarized light to split into two rays whose speed depend on the refractive index, because the crystal's refractive properties vary with polarization direction; therefore, double refraction emerges near specific crystal facets rather than maximizing reflection from Brewster's angle.
