Two polarizing filters have their transmission axes crossed at $9 0^{\circ}$ so that zero light is transmitted. When a third polarizer is inserted between them with its transmission axis oriented at $4 5^{\circ}$ to both, what fraction of incident unpolarized light of intensity $I_{0}$ emerges from the combination?
