The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.
Birefringence is when a material is able to refract light in two slightly different directions depending upon the angle of the light coming in. Crystals if calcite can be shown to do this.
A scalar is any quantity that only has an amount, such as mass energy. You only need a number and a unit to specify these. This is in contrast to quantities that have an amount and a direction, which are called vectors: things like displacement or momentum.

The term collinear is used to describe vectors which are scalar multiples of one another (they are parallel; can have different magnitudes in the same or opposite direction). The term coplanar is used to describe vectors in at least 3-space. Coplanar vectors are three or more vectors that lie in the same plane (any 2-D flat surface).
The resultant of two vectors cannot be a scalar quantity.
