Which phenomenon explains operation of polarizing beam splitters?

💡 Explanation

Brewster's angle minimizes reflection for light polarized parallel to the interface and ensures transmission, because at this angle the reflected light is entirely s-polarized; therefore, the beam splitter transmits p-polarized light rather than equally splitting all input.
