Which mechanism causes increased opacity within polycrystalline silicon when grain boundaries increase?

💡 Explanation

Electron scattering at grain boundaries increases opacity because boundary imperfections create more scattering sites impacting electron movement; therefore, light absorption increases, rather than being related to phonon effects or recombination at defects.
