Answer

$I_B\lt I_C=I_A\lt I_D$

Work Step by Step

case A: The intensity is given as $I=\frac{1}{2}I_{\circ}cos^260^{\circ}$ $I_A=I_{\circ}(0.125)$ casB: The angle $\theta=90^{\circ}$ $I_B=\frac{1}{2}I_{\circ}cos^290^{\circ}=0$ hence $I_B=0$ case C: Now the angle is $\theta=60^{\circ}$ $I_C=\frac{1}{2}I_{\circ}cos^260^{\circ}$ $I_C=I_{\circ}(0.125)$ case D: Now the angle is $\theta=30^{\circ}$ $I_D=\frac{1}{2}I_{\circ}cos^230^{\circ}$ $I_D=(0.375)I_{\circ}$ Thus the order of the increasing amount of intensity is $I_B\lt I_C=I_A\lt I_D$
