Question
When light strikes the surface of a medium such as water or glass, its intensity decreases with depth. The Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law states that the percentage of decrease is the same
for each additional unit of depth.
In the ocean, the photic zone is the region where there is sufficient light for photosynthesis to occur. (See the figure below.) For marine phytoplankton, the photic zone extends from the
surface of the ocean to a depth where the light intensity is about 1% of surface light. Consider a region of the ocean where the depth of the photic zone is about D = 18 meters. In this
region of the ocean, by what percentage does light intensity decrease for each additional meter of depth? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
