← ScienceWhich mechanism causes image distortion when viewing LCD screens through polarized sunglasses?
A)Brewster angle exceeds panel tolerance
B)Malus's law reduces light intensity✓
C)Retardance introduces phase differences
D)Fresnel reflection creates interference patterns
💡 Explanation
The intensity is reduced because Malus's law governs the transmission of polarized light through another polarizer, where intensity drops as the angle between polarizers increases; therefore certain pixel orientations appear dimmer or blocked altogether, rather than wavelength-dependent interference, causing distortion.
