Two polarisers \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are placed in such a way that the intensity of the transmitted light will be zero. A third polariser \(P_3\) is inserted in between \(P_1\) and \(P_2,\) at particular angle between \(P_2\) and \(P_3.\) The transmitted intensity of the light passing the through all three polarisers is maximum.
