About 5% of the power of a 100 W light bulb is converted to visible radiation. What is the average intensity of visible radiation :at a distance of 1m from the bulb ?

Answer»

<P>

SOLUTION :Here, power of RADIATION = 5% of ELECTRICAL power
`=100xx(5)/(100)`
`THEREFORE P=5W`
According to formula,
`I=(P)/(A)`
`therefore I=(P)/(4pi r^(2))`
`therefore I=(5)/(4xx3.14xx(1)^(2)) ""(because r=1m)`
`therefore I=0.3981 Wm^(-2)~~ 0.4 Wm^(-2)`
