Which risk increases when using incorrectly aligned polarizing filters in imaging?

💡 Explanation

Incorrect alignment of the crossed polarizers causes imperfect blocking of light. Because polarization modulates light transmission based on alignment, a loss of extinction occurs resulting in less black and therefore lowered image contrast, rather than generating interference effects.
