From my new perspective, the new intensity of the
light source has decreased by a factor of four.
Answer:
Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%
Explanation:
Using Lambert's law
Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium
then dI / I = kdt
taking log,
ln(I) = kt + ln C
I = Ce^kt
t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)
I = I(0)e^kt
t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k
k = ln(0.25)/3
k = -1.386/3
k = -0.4621
I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)
I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)
I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)
Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%
Answer:
Since v = (x(2) - x(1)) / t
point 2 obviously has the greatest displacement in a given time
Also, point 2 is the steepest line on this graph.
