[Q7] Which one of the following sentences is an accurate statement about light? a. CO d. C. b. When light strikes a surface at Brewster's angle, it is completely reflected at the surface. When light strikes a surface at Brewster's angle, only the reflected light is 100% polarized. e f. When light strikes a surface at Brewster's angle, the reflected and transmitted light are 100% polarized. When light strikes a surface at the critical angle, only the reflected light is 100% polarized. When light strikes a surface at the critical angle, all the light passes through the surface None of these statements are accurate. armast cec
