The laws in Britain are: you are allowed to cut parts of the tree that are overhanging over the boundary line but you have to give back the parts you cut off or it's classed as stealing. Be careful though, if you cut the tree back into your neighbor's land then it is classed as trespassing and you could be fined. Also because of a government billing, local authorities now have the power to control what the owner of the tree can do if it really is restricting your light. They first issue a "remedial notice," which orders them to lower the height of the tree. If the owners do not listen, they could get a fine up to £1,000. Basically, you can't do anything about the blocking of light. Only if it actually crosses the property line. While an individual has some ability to control what happens over their property, there are limits. It would be pretty ugly if every airplane flight had to clear its flight path with every property owner it was going to cross over!

What does Beer's law have to do with window tinting?

Simply put, Beer's law (Beer-Lambert law), expresses the relationship between the properties of a material through which light is passing to how much of that light is absorbed by the material. You've already figured out that the more a material absorbs light, the less will get through that material. That's where the window tinting comes in. Tints absorb light to a lesser or greater degree (depending the tint), and that determines how much light gets through the tint. Remember that light comes in different wavelengths outside the optical (visible) band, and some tints are used specifically to block the IR (infrared) wavelengths, and some block the UV (ultraviolet) wavelengths.

Is there a law on how high a tree can be in your back garden?

As far as I know there is no law on the height of a single tree in one's own garden. There are by-laws about more than one tree where it can be argued it is a hedge,there are height restrictions on hedge heights. UK law.
