← ScienceWhich consequence results when compressive force exceeds critical threshold in photoelastic materials?
A)Chromatic aberration becomes self-correcting
B)Stress-induced birefringence pattern amplifies✓
C)Rayleigh scattering overwhelms transmission
D)Fresnel diffraction rings become indistinct
💡 Explanation
When exceeding the elastic limit the stresses cause increased chain alignment; therefore stress-induced birefringence becomes markedly stronger, because polarization direction is altered proportionally to applied force, rather than a negligible, linear optical modification.
