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

  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $16$
  • D
