Which consequence results when birefringent material transmits unpolarized light?

💡 Explanation

Double refraction occurs because the material's refractive index differs based on light polarization; therefore, two rays emerge after refraction splits the unpolarized light, rather than light being cancelled/rotating/diffracting because birefringence acts on polarization.
