Unpolarised light of intensity \(X\) is incident on a polarising sheet. A second polaroid whose pass-axis makes an angle \(30^\circ\) with the pass-axis of the first polaroid is kept behind it. The intensity of the light that gets transmitted after the second polaroid is:
1. \(X\) 2. \(\dfrac{3X}{8}\)
3. \(\dfrac{X}{4}\) 4. \(\dfrac{X}{2}\)
