Which polarization effect arises attempting to transmit light through misaligned filters?

A)Intensity is exponentially attenuated squared
B)Frequency spectrum undergoes a blue shift
C)Phase velocity experiences chromatic dispersion
D)Wavelength undergoes non-linear parametric oscillation

💡 Explanation

Light intensity decreases according to Malus's Law, because the **polarization** component passed by each filter stage is reduced; therefore, intensity scales with cos²θ, rather than spectral distortions under specific conditions.
