A swimmer enters a gloomier world (in one sense) on diving to greater depths. Given that the mean molar absorption coeffi cient of seawater in the visible region is 6.2 × 10−5 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 , calculate the depth at which a diver will experience (a) half the surface intensity of light and (b) one-tenth that intensity.

a) x= 1,118 10⁴ m, b)   x=  3.7 104 m

Explanation:

To calculate the decrease in intensity with depth, write the equation

          I = I₀  

Where Io is the intensity at the surface and alf is the absorption coefficient

        Ln (I / I₀) = - α x

        x = -1 /α   ln (I / I₀)

Let's apply this expression to our case

a) intensity is half of the surface

         I / I₀ = 0.5

We calculate

         x = -1 /6.2 10⁻⁵  ln (0.5)

         x = 0.1118 10⁵ m = 1,118 10⁴ m

b) the intensity is one tenth

         I / Io = 0.1

         x = -1 / 6.2 10⁵  ln (0.1)

         x = 0.37138 10⁵ = 3.7 104 m

sonar - device which is used to find the submit submarines, sankalp ship. sonar waves consists of a transmitter and detector which are installed in the observation centre on board of a ship. the ultrasonic waves are sent into the sea at high frequency about 1000 khz in all direction.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
