An unpolarized light is incident on the plane interface of an air-dielectric medium as shown in the figure. If the incident angle is equal to the Brewster angle, identify the expression representing the reflected wave.

  • A
    $(E_x\hat{i} + E_y\hat{j})\sin(kx - kz - \omega t)$
  • B
    $(E_x\hat{i} + E_z\hat{k})\sin(kx + ky - \omega t)$
  • C
    $(E_x\hat{j} + E_y\hat{k})\sin(ky + kz - \omega t)$
  • D
    $(E_x\hat{i} + E_y\hat{j} + E_z\hat{k})\sin(kx + ky - kz - \omega t)$
