Which outcome temporarily occurs when a radio wave experiences Faraday rotation passing through a magneto-ionic space plasma?

A)Polarization plane rotates
B)Plasma echo propagation decays
C)Wave frequency remains constant
D)Refractive index causes reflection

💡 Explanation

The polarization plane rotates due to Faraday rotation because the electron's magnetic field interacts differently with right and left circularly polarized components of the electromagnetic wave. Therefore, the wave's polarization changes, rather than reflection or being unaffected under homogenous plasma conditions.
