Q154 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

If 10% of the power of a 100π W light bulb is converted to visible radiation, then the average intensity of visible radiation at a distance of 10 m is

  • Correct answer
    A
    0.025 W m-2
  • B
    0.01 W m-2
  • C
    0.031 W m-2
  • D
    0.05 W m-2

Solution

The intensity is defined as power radiated per unit area here power, P=100π W, but in the question we want to calculate only for ten percent of origin it means, P'=10π W, so the intensity, 
I=P'4πd2=10π4π102=0.025 W m-2. 

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