Consider three polarizer’s P1, P2 and P3 placed along an axis. The pass axis of P1 and P3 are at right angles to each other while the pass axis of P2 makes an angle θ with that of P1. A beam of unpolarized light of intensity I0 is incident on P1 as shown. The intensity of light emerging from P3 is

( a ) 0                                        ( b )   I / 2           

( c ) ( I / 8 ) sin 2 2 θ               ( d ) ( I / 4 ) sin 2 2 θ
