Which consequence results when unpolarized light encounters a chiral liquid crystal filter laminated within an optical instrument?

💡 Explanation

Selective reflection occurs because chiral liquid crystals exhibit Circular Dichroism, a polarization-dependent interaction. This causes preferential reflection of one circular polarization (helicity) rather than the other. Therefore the liquid crystal behaves as a polarization filter rather than causing aberrations.
