Marine biology. Marine life depends on the microscopic plant life that exists in the photic zone, a zone that goes to a depth where only 1 % of surface light remains. In some waters with a great deal of sediment, the photic zone may go down only 15 to 20 feet. In some murky harbors, the intensity of light d feet below the surface is given approximately by I = I 0 e − 0.23 d where I 0 is the intensity of light at the surface. What percentage of the surface light will reach a depth of (A) 10 feet? (B) 20 feet?

Solution Summary: The author calculates the percentage of surface light at 10 feet depth, based on the relation between intensity and intensity of light.
