Asumming the polariser is vertical, then 100% of vertically polarised light passes through it and 0% horizontal light passes through it. Simple so far.

For 45 degree light it gets weired. Each photon of light has a 50:50 chance of making it through. It is impossible to tell if a particlular photon will or will not pass through. it is totally random. If it does pass through however it will change its polarisation to vertical!

So a scientist would measure a beam of vertically poloarised light at 50% intensity.

What happens when an object becomes polarized?

When an object becomes polarized, its molecules align in a way that creates positive and negative ends, leading to the separation of charges. This results in the object having a net dipole moment, making it capable of interacting with electric fields and other polarized objects. Magnetic materials can also become polarized, aligning their magnetic domains in a specific direction.
