Which consequence results when transparent polymer experiences high material stress?

💡 Explanation

Stress causes chain alignment inducing stress-induced birefringence, a polarization effect because the refractive index varies with polarization direction; therefore light splits into orthogonal polarization components, rather than remaining unchanged.
