← ScienceWhich consequence results when polarized light transmits beyond Brewster's angle?
A)Increased reflected light intensity dominates✓
B)Polarization rotation maintains transmission
C)Refraction vanishes; total internal reflection
D)Phase shift compensation minimizes reflections
💡 Explanation
Reflection increases after Brewster's angle because Fresnel equations dictate increased reflectance at oblique incidence; therefore reflected light intensity dominates rather than being minimized, because polarization isn't maintained post critical propagation.
