← ScienceWhich detrimental effect arises when polarized light reflects off layered dielectrics?
A)Brewster angle mismatch occurs✓
B)Birefringence induced chromatic aberration
C)Thin-film interference intensifies
D)Specularity masks surface defects
💡 Explanation
A Brewster angle mismatch increases Fresnel reflection losses, because incident polarized light cannot be perfectly transmitted at interfaces. Consequently, performance diminishes; therefore, angles should be controlled, rather than expecting low reflection at all incident angles.
