Which detrimental outcome occurs when dissimilar polarizing filters are cascaded?

💡 Explanation

Signal attenuation happens because the Malus' Law relates transmitted intensity to the cosine squared of the misalignment angle; therefore, light is successively diminished, rather than noise rising (A) or harmonics appear (D) because polarisation isn't intrinsically nonlinear.
