What does a polarizing filter do?

Frequently asked questions on polarizers and UV filters
In order to answer this question, you'll first have to know something about light. Light can be regarded as a flow of particles (called photons), or as an electromagnetic wave. I'll try to stick to the wave theory. So, light can be regarded as a waveform, oscillating in an arbitrary direction perpendicular to its direction of motion. There will be waves oscillating up/down, oscillating left/right and all that's in between those two.

What does the filter do?

FAQ
All broadband amplifiers generate harmonics. Harmonics are spurious emissions that occur at 2,3,4,5,6...times the fundamental (your transmit) frequency. Many solid-state amplifiers (like ours) use "push-pull" design which allows the even order harmonics to mostly cancel each other out in the output transformers. With these amplifiers, most of the spurious energy is contained in the odd order harmonics with the 3rd order harmonic being the strongest.

What is color?

Digital Photography FAQ
Color is the perception of the power spectrum that is striking our retinas. Cells called cones are responsible for our perception of color. There are three distinct types of cones and each type covers a different region of the spectrum. The cones are typically labeled as red, green, and blue, which gives the incorrect impression that each responds to a distinct frequency. In fact, there is significant overlap between them, especially in the case of red and green.

Mechanical filters are made of fibers. Air is passed through a filtration media and the particles are trapped by: Interception - small particles move in the air-stream but are attracted to the fiber with a stronger force than carries the particle in the air stream. Diffusion – very small particles too small to follow streamlines will follow irregular paths because they are being hit by gas particles. (This irregular path is called the Brownian Movement.
