8.12 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 radiation is emitted isotropically and neglect reflection.

(a) At a distance of 1m from the bulb?
(b) At a distance of 10 m?
Assume that the radiation is emitted isotropically and neglect reflection.
8.12 Power rating of the bulb, P = 100 W
Power of visible radiation, = 5% of 100 W = 5 W
Distance from the bulb, d = 1 m
Intensity of radiation at that point is given as:
I = = = 0.398 W/
Distance from the bulb, d = 10 m
Intensity of radiation at that point is given as:
I = = = 3.978 W/

According to definition of displacement current, we can write
B0 = 42.9 × 10-9
42.9 Ans
s? = -? + k? ∴ s? = (-? +k? )/√2
I = P/ (4πr²) . (i)
and I = (1/2)ε? E? ²c . (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
P/ (4πr²) = (1/2)ε? E? ²c
E? = √ (2P/ (4πε? r²c) ; E? = √ (9×10? ×2×15)/ (15×15×10? ×3×10? ) = 2×10? ³ V/m
