Which mechanism limits light transmission through crossed polarizers?

💡 Explanation

Malus's law dictates the reduction in light intensity after passing through a polarizer; because the second polarizer is perpendicular, no light passes. Therefore, destructive interference is minimized, rather than relying on refraction, diffraction, or material absorption causing the effect.
