← ScienceWhich consequence results when linearly polarized light reflects off water?
A)Reduced reflective glare effect✓
B)Increased transmitted light signal
C)Enhanced chromatic aberration effects
D)Greater second harmonic generation
💡 Explanation
When polarized light reflects at Brewster's angle, the reflected light's intensity decreases due to polarization, because Fresnel equations dictate minimal reflection for p-polarized light; therefore, glare is reduced, rather than enhanced transmission or unrelated chromatic effects.
