    Two polarisers P1P_{1} and P2P_{2} are placed in such a way that the intensity of the transmitted light will be zero. A third polariser P3P_{3} is inserted in between P1P_{1} and P2P_{2}, at the particular angle between P2P_{2} and P3P_{3}. The transmitted intensity of the light passing the through all three polarisers is maximum. The angle between the polarisers P2P_{2} and P3P_{3} is :
