(a) Using the phenomenon of polarization, show, how, transverse nature of light can be demonstrated. (b) Two polaroids `P_(1) and P_(2)` are placed with their pass axes perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light of intensity 10 is incident on P1. A third polaroid P3 is kept in between `P_(1) and P_(2)` such that its pass axis makes an angle of `30^(@)` with that of `P_(1)`. Determine the intensity transmitted through `P_(1),P_(2) and P_(3)`.
