← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when polarized light reflects Brewster's angle?
A)Reflected light becomes linearly polarized.✓
B)Total internal reflection is initiated.
C)Evanescent waves become self-sustaining.
D)Diffraction increases exponentially along surface.
💡 Explanation
At Brewster's angle, light with a specific polarization undergoes complete transmission because the **polarization** component parallel to the plane of incidence is not reflected. Therefore, the reflected light is entirely composed of light polarized perpendicular to it, rather than total internal reflection.
