Which outcome occurs when ambient light passing through a stressed polymer sheet is viewed through perpendicularly aligned polarizing filters?

💡 Explanation

Birefringence causes color patterns, because stress induces varying refractive indices in orthogonal directions; therefore some wavelengths constructively interfere while others destructively interfere, creating colored patterns, rather than uniform transmission or wavelength filtering.
