Discuss the intensity of transmitted light when a polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed polaroids.

An unpolarised beam of intensity $I_{0}$ falls on a polaroid. The intensity of the emergent light is

In the figure,suppose the transmission axes of the left and right polarizing disks are perpendicular to each other. Also,let the center disk be rotated on the common axis with an angular speed $\omega$. If unpolarized light is incident on the left disk with an intensity $I_{max}$,the intensity of the beam emerging from the right disk is given by:

Three identical polaroids $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ are placed one after another. The pass axis of $P_2$ and $P_3$ are inclined at an angle $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source has an intensity $I_0$. What is the intensity of transmitted light through $P_3$? $\left(\cos 60^{\circ}=0.5, \cos 30^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
