The Attempt at a Solution
Let’s say the first polarizer film was in the vertical direction, and the second was in the horizontal direction the light would go through the first vertical polarizer which would polarize the light in that direction, leaving 50% of the light. The remaining 50% vibrating light waves would be negated when they pass through the second polarizer. This would be the same scenario vice versa.
