The following data were collected for a phosphorescent paint being proposed for use in coating highways.
| Time (s) | Intensity (lux) |
| 10 | 1505 |
| 20 | 745 |
| 30 | 369 |
| 40 | 183 |
| 50 | 90 |
| 60 | 45 |
| 70 | 22 |
| 80 | 11 |
| 90 | 5 |
| 100 | 3 |
Calculate the half-life for the paint.
What is the intensity of the light at the 2nd half-life?
What is the intensity of the light at the 3rd half-life?
