← ScienceWhich risk increases when using incorrectly aligned polarizing filters in imaging?
A)Reduced image contrast and blurred details✓
B)Increased signal to noise ratio artifacts
C)Chromatic aberration and rainbow fringes
D)Destructive interference causes total blackout
💡 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.
