Which polarization results when radio waves reflect off conductors?

A)Constructive interference becomes destructive
B)Reflections induce parallel polarization
C)Transverse undergoes phase inversion
D)Longitudinal polarization attenuates sharply

💡 Explanation

Upon reflection, transverse waves undergo phase inversion, becoming polarized because the **Fresnel equations** show direction changes during reflection, rather than generating parallel waves or undergoing attenuation. Therefore, transverse polarization is the direct effect, rather than longitudinal.
