The correct Answer is:
To find the temperature of the tungsten filament in the 100W bulb, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Surface Area of the Filament The filament is modeled as a cylinder, and the surface area \( A \) of a cylinder is given by the formula: \[ A = 2 \pi r l \] where \( r \) is the radius and \( l \) is the length of the filament. Given: - Length \( l = 1.0 \, m \) - Radius \( r = 4 \times 10^{-5} \, m \) Substituting the values: \[ A = 2 \pi (4 \times 10^{-5}) (1.0) = 8 \pi \times 10^{-5} \, m^2 \] ### Step 2: Use the Stefan-Boltzmann Law The power radiated by the filament can be calculated using the Stefan-Boltzmann law: \[ P = \epsilon \sigma A T^4 \] where: - \( P \) is the power (100 W), - \( \epsilon \) is the emissivity (0.8), - \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (\( 6.0 \times 10^{-8} \, W/m^2K^4 \)), - \( A \) is the area we calculated in Step 1, - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. ### Step 3: Rearranging the Formula to Solve for Temperature Rearranging the formula to solve for \( T \): \[ T^4 = \frac{P}{\epsilon \sigma A} \] \[ T = \left( \frac{P}{\epsilon \sigma A} \right)^{1/4} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Values Now we substitute the known values into the equation: \[ T = \left( \frac{100}{0.8 \times 6.0 \times 10^{-8} \times 8 \pi \times 10^{-5}} \right)^{1/4} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Area First, calculate the area: \[ A = 8 \pi \times 10^{-5} \approx 2.51 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2 \] ### Step 6: Substitute and Calculate Temperature Now substituting the area back into the temperature equation: \[ T = \left( \frac{100}{0.8 \times 6.0 \times 10^{-8} \times 2.51 \times 10^{-4}} \right)^{1/4} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 0.8 \times 6.0 \times 10^{-8} \times 2.51 \times 10^{-4} \approx 1.21 \times 10^{-11} \] Now substituting this value back: \[ T = \left( \frac{100}{1.21 \times 10^{-11}} \right)^{1/4} \] \[ T = \left( 8.26 \times 10^{12} \right)^{1/4} \] \[ T \approx 1700 \, K \] ### Final Answer The temperature of the filament when the bulb is operating at correct wattage is approximately \( 1700 \, K \). ---
