← ScienceWhich consequence results when unpolarized light propagates across anisotropic media?
A)Birefringence separates orthogonal polarized beams✓
B)Reflected rays induces total internal reflection
C)Chromatic aberration yields spectral broadening
D)Bragg diffraction modulates wavelength selectivity
💡 Explanation
Birefringence occurs because orthogonal polarization states experience differing indices of refraction, resulting in separate beams, rather than internal reflection or chromatic abberation. Because of polarization the extraordinary ray and ordinary ray separate therefore creating birefringence.
