Which outcome results when anisotropic material is placed within crossed polarizers?

A)Stress patterns become clearly visible
B)Reduced light intensities are uniformly observed
C)Speckle patterns become strongly enhanced
D)Minimal changes in transmission occur

💡 Explanation

Stress induces birefringence dependent on the force, causing different polarization changes. The colors seen in photoelasticity arise because birefringence varies; therefore, stress patterns become apparent using crossed polarizers, rather than uniform darkness.
