Question

If the angle between the polarizer and the analyzer is 30 degrees, what light intensity would be transmitted through the polarizer and analyzer, respectively?

I know the equationg we're supposed to use is: I= Io*cos2(theta), but how do I find the Io? And would the answer be different for the polarizer and the analyzer?
