Which outcome occurs when anisotropic stress increases in birefringent material under polarized light?

A)Enhanced photoelastic fringe pattern
B)Decreased optical rotation effects
C)Reduced chromatic dispersion values
D)Diminished intensity of Snell's window

💡 Explanation

Photoelasticity enhances fringe patterns via stress-induced birefringence because applied stress changes the refractive indices, therefore light interferes rather than propagating uniformly, creating high contrast due to changed polarization directions.
