Which mechanism causes reduced visibility through polarizing sunglasses when the wearer rapidly tilts their head?

A)Brewster's angle polarization increases reflection
B)Fresnel diffraction blurs oblique light
C)Birefringence offsets polarization angles
D)Malus's Law attenuates transmitted light

💡 Explanation

Malus's Law governs light intensity because the angle between the sunglass filter and the vertically polarized reflected light changes with head tilt which diminishes transmitted waves. Therefore, Malus's law correctly describes attentuation, rather than Brewster's angle, which describes complete polarization for reflected light hitting interface.
