Which consequence results when anisotropic crystals are positioned between crossed polarizers?

A)Birefringence creates vibrant color patterns
B)Wavefront distortion reduces image resolution
C)Non-linear shifts in refractive index
D)Total internal reflection traps light

💡 Explanation

Birefringence emerges because materials alter transmitted polarization. Therefore, color patterns are observed because different polarization components travel at differing speeds, rather than wavefront distortion, under these anisotropic conditions.
