← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when unpolarized light strikes dichroic film?
A)Intensity decreases, polarization establishes one plane✓
B)Wavelength increases via refractive distortion
C)Frequency shifts towards the infrared spectrum
D)Phase velocity increases proportionally alongside intensity
💡 Explanation
Polarization occurs because dichroic materials selectively absorb light with electric field vectors in one plane; therefore light intensity decreases, polarized along the orthogonal transmission plane, rather than altering wavelength or purely increasing velocity.
