← ScienceWhen light reflects from a dielectric surface at Brewster's angle, which polarization-based outcome increases?
A)Transmitted component purity
B)Polarization extinction ratio✓
C)Reflected component intensity
D)Elliptical polarization fraction
💡 Explanation
Because Brewster's angle is achieved, reflected light maximizes polarization via Brewster's Law. This causes strong polarization extinction rather than increasing intensity, because polarization removes one plane; therefore option B is correct, rather than increased intensity or different polarization type.
