10. Birefringence, or double refraction, is the splitting of a ray of light into two rays when it passes through certain types of material, such as calcite crystals.The two rays, called the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray, travel at different speeds.Thus the material has two distinct indices of refraction, as measured from different directions.This effect can occur only if the structure of
