    In a Young's double slit experiment, three polarizers are kept as shown in the figure. The transmission axes of P1P_{1} and P2P_{2} are orthogonal to each other. The polarizer P3P_{3} covers both the slits with its transmission axis at 45∘45^{\circ} to those of P1P_{1} and P2P_{2}. An unpolarized light of wavelength λ\lambda and intensity I0I_{0} is incident on P1P_{1} and P2P_{2}. The intensity at a point after P3P_{3} where the path difference between the light waves from s1s_{1} and s2s_{2} is λ3\frac{\lambda}{3}, is
