← ScienceWhich risk increases when light passes through birefringent material?
A)Reduced image resolution in microscopy✓
B)Excessive heat accumulation by absorbance
C)Increased signal transmission data rate
D)Higher refractive index across spectrum
💡 Explanation
Polarization affects image resolution; birefringence splits light into two rays with different refractive indices, causing the mechanism of double refraction distorting the image, because each ray travels a different path. Therefore resolution suffers, rather than heat increasing, with higher index change or higher data rate.
