← ScienceWhich phenomenon impairs LCD visibility when viewed obliquely through polarized sunglasses?
A)Brewster angle polarization
B)Fresnel reflection losses
C)Malus's law attenuation✓
D)Chromatic dispersion artifacts
💡 Explanation
Viewing an LCD obliquely causes the light's polarization angle to shift relative to the sunglasses' polarization axis, therefore Malus's Law reduces transmitted intensity based on the cosine squared of the angle, rather than reflection or dispersion, because polarization alignment changes with viewing angle.
