Problem 116A
Intensity of Light The intensity of light (in appropriate units) passing through water decreases exponentially with the depth it penetrates beneath the surface according to the function
I(x) = 10e−03x,
where x is the depth in meters. A certain water plant requires light of an intensity of 1 unit. What is the greatest depth of water in which it will grow?
