Which consequence results when crossed polarizers misalign slightly with their initial extinction axis?

💡 Explanation

Light transmission increases via the Malus's Law because a fraction of light polarized by the first filter matches the non-orthogonal transmission axis of the second, therefore light passes rather than complete extinction due to orthogonality.
