← ScienceWhich phenomenon explains operation of polarizing beam splitters?
A)Brewster's angle✓
B)Faraday effect
C)Doppler broadening
D)Raman scattering
💡 Explanation
Brewster's angle minimizes reflection for light polarized parallel to the interface and ensures transmission, because at this angle the reflected light is entirely s-polarized; therefore, the beam splitter transmits p-polarized light rather than equally splitting all input.
