Which outcome occurs when cross-polarized filters misalign angularly?

💡 Explanation

Misalignment allows partial transmission because Malus's Law dictates intensity relates to the cosine squared of the angle between polarization axes; therefore, light passes rather than remains blocked, because the angle increases.
