: The intensity of light decreases as it passes through sea water. The equation ln Io/I= 0.014d relates the intensity of light I at the depth of d centimeters with the intensity of light Io in the atmosphere. Find the depth of the water where the intensity of the light is half the intensity of the light in the atmosphere.
Thanks for your help.
