$A$ beam of unpolarised light of intensity $I_0$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principal plane makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of the emergent light is

  • A
    $\frac{I_0}{8}$
  • B
    $I_0$
  • C
    $\frac{I_0}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{4}$
