Two Polaroids P1 and P2 are placed with their axis perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light l0 is incident on P1. A third polaroid P3 is kept in between P1 and P2 such that its axis makes an angle 45º with that of P1. The intensity of transmitted light through P2 is
- \(\frac {l_0}{2}\)
- \(\frac {l_0}{4}\)
- \(\frac {l_0}{8}\)
- \(\frac {l_0}{16}\)
The Correct Option is C
