← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when sunlight passes through calcite?
A)Double refraction forms two images✓
B)Photoelectric emission releases electrons
C)Raman scattering alters wavelength subtly
D)Material vitrifies due to high energy
💡 Explanation
Calcite exhibits birefringence; therefore double refraction occurs because the crystal splits light into ordinary and extraordinary rays using the mechanism of polarization, which induces different refractive indices, rather than other scattering.
