Answer

$\frac{I_3}{I_0} = cos^4~30^{\circ}$ $A = 1$ $n = 4$ $\theta = 30^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for $I_1$: $I_1 = I_0~cos^2~30^{\circ}$ We can write an expression for $I_2$: $I_2 = I_1$ $I_2 = I_0~cos^2~30^{\circ}$ We can write an expression for $I_3$: $I_3 = I_2~cos^2~30^{\circ}$ $I_3 = (I_0~cos^2~30^{\circ})~cos^2~30^{\circ}$ $\frac{I_3}{I_0} = cos^4~30^{\circ}$ $A = 1$ $n = 4$ $\theta = 30^{\circ}$
