Question

Deep-ocean lantern fish have special organs that use chemical energy to produce light. However, the light can only travel a certain distance through the water before it is no longer visible. How does this phenomenon validate the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The fish is a closed system, so energy is allowed to exit the system.
The Law of Conservation of Energy applies to biological, not physical, systems.
The light energy travels through the water until it is reflected or absorbed.
The light is not carried by matter and contains no energy.

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. This  phenomenon validate the Law of Conservation of Energy by the statement that says the light energy travels through the water until it is reflected or absorbed. Hope this answers the question.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is that the light energy travels through the water until it is reflected or absorbed.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is illustrated as the form of energy that cannot be destroyed or produced, however, it gets transformed from one form to another. In case of Deep Ocean lantern fish that generates light in water, which travels along certain distance and then moves back, that is, in the reverse direction. This happens as the light travels in waves and when it comes in contact with the waves, it either gets absorbed or is reflected back.
