Q15 / 30 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Electromagnetic Waves

About 5% of the power of 100 W light bulb is converted to visible radiation. What is the average intensity of visible radiation at a distance of 10 m? Assume that the radiation is emitted isotropically and neglect reflection.

  • Correct answer
    A
    4×10-3 W m-2
     
  • B
    5×10-3 W m-2
  • C
    6×10-3 W m-2
     
  • D
    7×10-3 W m-2
     

Solution

Total power = 100 W

Visible radiation power = 5% of total power

=5100×100=5 W

At a distance of 10 m, the energy distributed in the form of sphere Area of sphere = 4π (radius)2

The intensity of visible radiation

= Power Area =54×3·14102=4×10-3 W m-2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
