Which consequence results when stressed polymer sheets transmit directional illumination through crossed polarizers?

A)Stress-induced birefringence causes visual patterns
B)Total internal reflection enhances light
C)Photoelectric emission reduces polarization
D)Chromatic aberration diminishes image clarity

💡 Explanation

Stress induces temporary anisotropy in the polymer chains and rotation of polarized light direction, called stress-induced birefringence, causing colors/patterns to appear because the light passes through both polarizers; therefore specific stress concentration locations are detectable rather than uniform darkness.
