← ScienceWhich consequence reduces visibility aboard a fishing vessel undergoing heavy pitch?
A)Increased light scattering from aerosols
B)S polarized glare reflecting deck✓
C)Fresnel losses from window surface
D)Chromatic aberration through thick glass
💡 Explanation
Glares reflected from horizontal surfaces contain mostly S-polarized component; therefore Brewster's angle causes intense, blinding reflections due to Polarization by reflection, which overwhelms the pilot's vision rather than other sources.
