The responses so far have several problems:

The model of a polarizer as an array of "slits". Where did *that*
model come from? Is it an extention of the infamous "rope through the
picket-fence" model some textbooks foist on students as an analogy to
polarization?

Thaks Donald. I have been bothered by the "venetion blind slits"
explanation for a long time also. Thanks for your explanation.
