About 5% of the power of a 100 W light bulb is converted to visible radiation. What is the average intensity of visible radiation (a) at a distance of 1m from the bulb? (b) at a distance of 10 m? Assume that the radiation is emitted isotropically and neglect reflection
Solution:
The bulb as a point source, radiate light in all direction uniformly and it is given that only 5% of power is converted to visible radiations. (a) Let us assume a sphere of radius 1 m. Surface area A = 4πr2 = 4π (1)2 = 4 π m2 Intensity on the sphere I = = = 0.4 (b) Let us assume a sphere of 10 m radius. Surface area A = = 4 π = 400 π Intensity on the sphere I = = = 0.004 W
