Polarizers are made of long-chained molecules which absorb light with electric fields.

When you shine a light on a polarizer, only a part of the light is passed. The polarizing plate materials absorb only the electric field component of light having the same direction as themselves. The absorbed electric field is converted into heat energy. On the other hand, the electric field component perpendicular to the polarization direction passes through it.

Description This is a simulation intended to help visualize polarization. A polarizing filter has a particular transmission axis and only allows light waves aligned with that axis to pass through. In this simulation unpolarized waves pass through a vertical slit, leaving only their vertical components. This vertical transverse wave approaches a vertical slit.
