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 radiaton is emitted isotropically and neglect reflection

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the average intensity of visible radiation emitted by a 100 W light bulb at two different distances (1 m and 10 m) from the bulb. ### Given: - Power of the light bulb, \( P = 100 \, \text{W} \) - Percentage of power converted to visible radiation = 5% - Distance 1, \( r_1 = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Distance 2, \( r_2 = 10 \, \text{m} \) ...
