Question

4. The chemical and physical sunscreens have been found to damage coral reefs, while others may be linked to health problems. Another issue is that they are made from petroleum feedstocks, which are not renewable. Some researchers are working on developing sunscreen s derived from algae and fish mucus. Read about this research at the link below: The article indicates that the ability of the algae compounds to absorb light was up to 192% greater than that of 2-EHMC. Therefore, if 2-EHMC can absorb 10,000 photons per hour, what is the maximum number of photons that the algae compounds absorb per hour?

Explanation / Answer

algae compound absorb light up to 192% greater.

Absorpition rate of 2-EHMC= 10000 photons/hr

photons that can be absorbed by Algae= 10000+10000*1.92=10000*2.92= 29200 photons/hr
