To solve the problem of how many visible light photons are emitted by a 100W incandescent light bulb that radiates 5% of its energy as visible light, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total power radiated as visible light The power radiated as visible light is given as 5% of the total power of the bulb. \[ \text{Power radiated as visible light} = 0.05 \times 100 \text{ W} = 5 \text{ W} \] ...
