Which consequence results when birefringent material thickness varies?

💡 Explanation

Varied thickness alters retardation because different wavelengths experience variable phase shifts via double refraction, creating wavelength-dependent elliptical polarization effects, thus changes in output color. Therefore, color shifts occur rather than velocity changes under constant thickness.
