Which consequence results when birefringent material experiences stress?

💡 Explanation

Stress causes temporary alignment of polymer chains resulting in stress-induced birefringence, consequently altering polarization states depending on stress level; therefore a colored pattern appears rather than uniform isotropy because the refractive index becomes directionally dependent
