A research ship in the Pacific Ocean is testing a new method of
detecting pollutants in ocean water (nwater=1.3330). Their
experimental apparatus includes two lasers which hang over the side
of the ship and point downward into the water (the lasers
themselves are suspended in the air above the surface of the
ocean). One laser is violet (λ=400 nm, αH2O = 0.0044 m-1) and the
other is red (λ=700 nm, αH2O = 0.6 m-1). Both lasers are very
bright, with...
