Which effect arises given incorrectly aligned polarizer lenses?

A)Signal transmission loss increases acutely
B)Reflected signal amplitude shifts marginally
C)Wavelength-dependent phase distortion elevates
D)Beam coherence is prematurely disturbed

💡 Explanation

Misaligned polarizers cause increased signal loss because the mechanism, Malus's law, states that intensity decreases proportional to the cosine squared of the angle between polarization axes; therefore transmission plummets, rather than subtle phase shift anomalies.
