Which outcome results if imperfections cause stress in photoelastic materials?

A)Increased unwanted birefringence occurs
B)Reduced optical rotary dispersion arises
C)Enhanced total internal reflection begins
D)Decreased refractive index gradients form

💡 Explanation

Increased stress leads to greater magnitudes of stress-induced birefringence because birefringence is directly linked to the refractive index differential of polarized light. Therefore, increased optical imperfections would exacerbate birefringence effects rather than alter its polarization, internal reflection, or refractive index.
