← ScienceWhich effect becomes more pronounced when unpolarized light passes through successive birefringent crystals?
A)Intensity reduction follows Malus's Law✓
B)Constructive interference creates vivid colours
C)Chromatic dispersion is inherently minimized
D)Higher frequencies experience Snell's decay
💡 Explanation
Intensity reduces because polarization changes with each crystal via the mechanism of birefringence; therefore, the intensity decreases obeying Malus’s Law, rather than creating constructive interference as index variations disrupt fixed phase relationships.
