Question:
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 = I0e - 0.23d
where I0 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?
