| Oct 28, 2021 at 15:30 | comment | added | Tristan | Thank you. So the wire grid reflects the light, whereas a "long molecule" polarizer absorbs it? Is that the difference? Also, what would happen with a grid that had both horizontal and vertical lines in a single polarizer? Would that behave the same as two polarizers next to each other? | |
