Two polaroids \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are placed with their axis perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light of intensity \(I_0\) is incident on \(P_1\). A third polaroid \(P_3\) is kept in between \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) such that its axis makes an angle \(45^{\circ}\) with that of \(P_1\). The intensity of transmitted light through \(P_2\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\) 2. \(\dfrac{I_0}{8}\)
3. \(\dfrac{I_0}{16}\) 4. \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\)

Unpolarized light of intensity \(32\) Wm–2 passes through three polarizers such that the transmission axes of the first and second polarizer make an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with each other and the transmission axis of the last polarizer is crossed with that of the first. The intensity of the final emerging light will be:
1. \(32\) Wm–2
2. \(3\) Wm–2
3. \(8\) Wm–2
4. \(4\) Wm–2
