Problem 27E
Applications and Examples
Working underwater The intensity L(x) of light x feet beneath the surface of the ocean satisfies the differential equation
As a diver, you know from experience that diving to 18 ft in the Caribbean Sea cuts the intensity in half. You cannot work without artificial light when the intensity falls below one-tenth of the surface value. About how deep can you expect to work without artificial light?

Working underwater The intensity L(x) of light x feet beneath the surface of the ocean satisfies the differential equation
As a diver, you know from experience that diving to 18 ft in the Caribbean Sea cuts the intensity in half. You cannot work without artificial light when the intensity falls below one-tenth of the surface value. About how deep can you expect to work without artificial light?
ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 3
In this problem, we have to find the depth in the Caribbean sea up to which we can work without artificial light.
