I don't get it. I get the basics, but the third filter

here's a question:
two filters, #1 horizontal and a #2 vertical.
why doesn't the first one let 45 degree light partially through, and the second one also let it partially through?
is it a filter or a polarization re-orienter?

>>9167335
Strangely that's what filters do,
A 45 degree orientation will block half the light, but the rest will be 'coerced' into the filter's orientation

>>9167319
No it isn't. The set of filters in the first frame isn't the same filters in the second.

I wonder if Cassini's break up could be seen frmo one of the Saturn's moons?

wrong thread

Look up the newest 3Blue1Brown video, it covers this exact effect in detail

alright, so it's a probabilistic filter that allows photons through, with a new orientation.

it feels to me that whenever there is interaction with other matter, some of the energy should be lost/passed away in that interaction.
