← ScienceWhich outcome results when sunlight reflects off a wet road?
A)Increased glare and reduced visibility✓
B)Enhanced color saturation of objects
C)Improved contrast in distant objects
D)Decreased thermal absorption by asphalt
💡 Explanation
Increased glare results because reflection at Brewster's angle causes increased horizontal polarization of light via Fresnel equations; therefore glare increases and visibility drops, rather than generating colors or thermal effects, different boundary conditions elicit unique light phenomena.
