Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method,where 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 a radius $100 \,R$. If $I_0$ is the intensity observed on Earth due to the parent star,then as the exoplanet transits:
