Question:

Imagine that we have randomly polarized room light incident almost normally on the glass surface of a radar screen. A portion of it would be specularly reflected back toward the viewer and would thus tend to obscure the display. Suppose now that we cover the screen with a right-circular polarizer, as shown in Fig. P.8.68. Trace the incident and reflected beams, indicating their polarization states. What happens to the reflected beam?
