\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{net}}=3=\frac{32}{8}(\sin 2 \theta)^2 & =\frac{\mathrm{I}_0}{2} \cos ^2 \theta \sin ^2 \theta \\ \operatorname{Sin}(2 \theta)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow 2 \theta=60 \& 120^{\circ} & =\frac{I_0}{8}(\sin 2 \theta)^2 \\ \theta=30^{\circ} \text { \& } 60^{\circ} & \end{array}
