Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method, wherein one monitors a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius R and the parent star has radius 100R. If I_(0) is the intensity observed on earth due to the parent star, then as the exoplanet transits,

Answer»

The MINIMUM observed intensity of the PARENT STAR is `0.9I_(0)`
The minimum observed intensity of the parent star is `0.99I_(0)`
The minimum observed intensity of the parent star is `0.999 I_(0)`
