The claim that energy is absorbed or reflected by the material when light passes through a polarising filter describes basic physical optics, where polarizers selectively absorb or reflect specific polarization components of light.

The analysis

The claim is a fundamental physical principle regarding how polarizing filters and optical materials interact with light via selective absorption and reflection. It is considered common knowledge in optics, and paper [7] provides supporting evidence showing polarization-dependent reflection and absorption in optical materials.
