← ScienceWhich consequence results when circularly polarized light reflects perpendicularly from dielectric interface?
A)Phase shifts depend on incidence
B)Elliptical polarization is introduced
C)Polarization direction is inverted✓
D)Reflected intensity becomes non-uniform
💡 Explanation
Polarization direction inverts because the mechanism of reflection reverses the handedness (chirality) of circularly polarized light at normal incidence; therefore, the polarization is inverted rather than producing elliptical polarization or other changes because of the specific reflective process, rather than absorption.
