Abstract:The well known experiment with thee linear polarizers clearly demonstrates interesting properties of light. The beam intensity of photon beam transmitted through one, two or three polarizers can be measured in dependence on the rotations of the polarizers. The experiment has attracted attention of many researchers because the measured intensities cannot be explained by photons being only absorbed by the polarizers; the polarizers must also change a property (called polarization) of the transmitted photons.
