Which consequence results when stressed polycarbonate transmits non-uniform polarized light?

💡 Explanation

Birefringence occurs because applied stress introduces anisotropy at a molecular level, inducing temporary polarization change. Therefore, polarized light waves experience variable refractive indices resulting in visible stress patterns, rather than homogenized refractive index, under intense stress.
