I wasn't sure which forum this came under, so...
I've read the basic idea of polarised lenses: light rays have an 'orientation', and when a light beam passes through a polariser only certain orientations get through.
1. But what happens to the rest of the light i.e. those rays that don't get through? Are they absorbed? Re-emitted in a different direction? Why?
Any help would be great,
