Which consequence results when linearly polarized light reflects off water?

💡 Explanation

When polarized light reflects at Brewster's angle, the reflected light's intensity decreases due to polarization, because Fresnel equations dictate minimal reflection for p-polarized light; therefore, glare is reduced, rather than enhanced transmission or unrelated chromatic effects.
