Determine the light pressure exerted on the walls of an electric bulb of power 100 W . The bulb is made in the form of a sphere of radius 5cm , its walls reflect 10 % of the incident light and the rest 90% of the light is transmitted. Assume that the entire power consumed by the bulb is converted into radiation and transmitted light does not exert any pressure.
