As far as I understand, it is 100

The intensity is in arbitrary units. This factor was used just to match the 
arbitrary units from two codes (Lanczos and Davidson).

Subject: [QE-users] [SPAM] Doubt about Hands-on QE summer school TD-DFT 
exercise (day 3)

Dear QE users,

I'm new to optical properties calculation, and I want to ask If anyone could 
help me with two doubts about the Hands-on exercises in the 
https://gitlab.com/QEF/material-for-ljubljana-qe-summer-school/-/blob/master/Day-3/example6/

1- It is selected the ipol=1 in Lanczos file. The manual shows it as XX 
direction. Is it the 100 or 001 direction of the polarized light? I read a 
paper in which it is considered the 100, but in other forums, it was said that 
it is 001...

2- Why is the script used to plot the spectrum set to multiply column 4 
(imaginary dielectric) by 0.000276? I understood that the ($2)*13.6 was set to 
convert Ry to eV, but I can't even guess the reason for the 0.000276...

Thanks for your help
