← ScienceWhich fringe-pattern change signals increased compressive load within concrete?
A)Increased fringe visibility decline rate
B)Decreased wavelength-shift of spectral components
C)Increased fringe density progression rate✓
D)Decreased pattern symmetry irregularity amount
💡 Explanation
Increased compressive load increases concrete's refractive index. Because this changes the effective optical path length within a fiber-optic sensor embedded in the concrete, the **interference** fringe density increases; therefore compression raises fringe spatial frequency progression, rather than visibility or symmetry changes.
