← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when light passes through photoelastic material under stress?
A)Stress induces birefringence of material✓
B)Light frequency undergoes up-conversion
C)Resonance causes material combustion
D)Material amplifies incident ray intensity
💡 Explanation
Stress causes temporary alignment changes in molecular structure; therefore stress induces the mechanism of birefringence, which causes a change in refractive index dependent on polarization, rather than amplification or frequency conversion.
