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 of $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with respect to the axis of $P_1$. The source has an intensity $I_0 = 256 \ W/m^2$. Find the intensity of light at point $O$. (in $W/m^2$)

$A$ system of three polarizers $P_1, P_2, P_3$ is set up such that the pass axis of $P_3$ is crossed with respect to that of $P_1$. The pass axis of $P_2$ is inclined at $60^{\circ}$ to the pass axis of $P_3$.
