An unpolarized light passes through three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make an angle of $30^o$,$60^o$,and $30^o$ with the $y$-axis in the same sense. What fraction of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{9}{32}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{32}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{64}$

The pass-axes of two polarisers were kept such that the incident unpolarised beam of intensity $I_0$ gets completely blocked. Another polariser was introduced in between these two polarisers with its pass-axis at $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the pass-axis of the first one. The output intensity would then become
