Which pattern appears due to increased stress in photoelastic materials?

💡 Explanation

Stress causes changes in refractive index; therefore, increased stress shifts the existing interference fringes due to stress-induced birefringence, rather than changing spectral emission or causing complete polarization loss, because photoelasticity involves relative phase changes.
