A system of three polarizers P1,P2,P3{P}_{1},{P}_{2},{P}_{3}P1​,P2​,P3​ is set up such that the pass axis of P3{P}_{3}P3​ is crossed with respect to that of P1{P}_{1}P1​ . The pass axis of P2{P}_{2}P2​ is inclined at 60o{60}^{o}60o to the pass axis of P3.{P}_{3}.P3​. When a beam of unpolarized light of intensity Io{I}_{o}Io​ is incident on P1,{P}_{1},P1​, the intensity of light transmitted by the three polarizers is III . The ratio (Io/I)({I}_{o}/I)(Io​/I) equals (nearly):
