← ScienceWhich phenomenon causes glare reduction when sunglasses use dichroic materials?
A)Polarization by selective absorption✓
B)Refraction through altered refractive index
C)Interference via thin-film coatings
D)Diffraction from multilayer grating designs
💡 Explanation
Polarized sunglasses reduce glare because **polarization by selective absorption** attenuates light vibrating in a specific orientation. Therefore, glare decreases, rather than being refracted or exhibiting effects like interference, because energy gets absorbed directionally based on molecular structure.
