While the answer is that it does, it transmits light VERY poorly. Most of the light bounces off it and the rest is refracted into the ocean. This is why you can't see much that is far away from you in the ocean unlike if you're just on land.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
current in the wire = potential diff / resistance
= 23 / (15 x 10⁻³ )
= 1.533 x 10³ A .
b )
For resistance of a wire , the formula is
R = ρ L / S where ρ is specific resistance , L is length and S is cross sectional area of wire
putting the given values
15 x 10⁻³ = 4ρ / π x .003²
ρ = 106 x 10⁻⁹ ohm. m
= 10.6 x 10⁻⁸ ohm m
The metal wire appears to be platinum .
