Which risk increases when analyzing optically active samples with polarimetry?

💡 Explanation

Erroneous readings increase, because stress creates temporary alignment through stress birefringence—the double refraction of light in a material. Therefore linear polarized light will be affected by different refractive indices, rather than the sample alone.
