If the total extinction through a dark nebula is 10 magnitudes, what fraction of photons makes it through the cloud? (Hint: See Problem 3.)
REFERENCE:
Extinction dims starlight by about 1 magnitude per 1000 pc. What fraction of photons survives a trip of 1000 pc? (Hint: Consider the definition of the magnitude scale in Chapter 2.)
