In a Young's double slit experiment, three polarizers are kept as shown in the figure. The transmission axes of P1P_1P1​ and P2P_2P2​ are orthogonal to each other. The polarizer P3P_3P3​ covers both the slits with its transmission axis at 45∘45^{\circ}45∘ to those of P1P_1P1​ and P2P_2P2​. An unpolarized light of wavelength λ\lambdaλ and intensity I0I_0I0​ is incident on P1P_1P1​ and P2P_2P2​. The intensity at a point after P3P_3P3​ where the path difference between the light waves from s1s_1s1​ and s2s_2s2​ is λ3\frac{\lambda}{3}3λ​, is JEE Main 2025 Physics, Wave Optics — question figure
