Q.

The filament of a light bulb has surface area 64 mm2. The filament can be considered as a black body at temperature 2500 K emitting radiation like a point source when viewed from far. At night the light bulb is observed from a distance of 100 m. Assume the pupil of the eyes of the observer to be circular with radius 3 mm. Then-
(Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10−8 Wm−2 K−4, Wien’s displacement constant= 2.90 × 10−3 m-K, Planck’s constant = 6.63 × 10−34 Js, speed of light in vacuum= 3.00 × 108 ms−1)

a

taking the average wavelength of emitted radiation to be 1740 nm, the total number of photons entering per second into one eye of the observer is in the range 2.75 × 1011 to 2.85 × 1011

b

radiated power entering into one eye of the observer is in the range 3.15 × 10−8 W to 3.25 × 10−8 W

c

the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of light is 1160 nm

d

power radiated by the filament is in the range 642 W to 645 W

answer is B, C, D.

Detailed Solution

A = 64 mm2, T = 2500 K (A = surface area of filament, T = temperature of filament, d is distance of bulb from observer, Re = radius of pupil of eye)
Point source d = 100 m

Re = 3mm

(A) P=σAeT4=5.67×108×64×106×1×(2500)4(e=1 black body )=141.75W

Option (A) is wrong

(B) Power reaching to the eye

 =P4πd2×πRe2 =141.754π×(100)2×π×3×1032 =3.189375×108W  Option (B) is correct  

(C)λmT=b

λm×2500=2.9×103λm=1.16×106=1160nm

Option (C) is correct

 (D) Power received by one eye of observer =hcλ×N˙

N˙= Number of photons entering into eye per second 

3.189375×108=6.63×1034×3×1081740×109×N˙N˙=2.79×1011

Option (D) is correct
