Which outcome occurs when compressive stress is non-uniform?

💡 Explanation

Stress concentrates based on geometry. Stress-induced birefringence occurs because photoelasticity changes material refractive indices depending on polarization state, resulting in alterations of path lengths. Therefore, birefringence occurs rather than other listed effects, for uniform isotropic material.
