A beam of ordinary unpolarised light passes through a tourmaline crystal C1 and then it passes through another tourmaline crystal C2 which is oriented such that its principle plane is parallel to that of C2. The intensity of emergent light is I0. Now, C2 is rotated by 60o about the ray. The emergent ray will have an intensity
