If a 10 W bulb emits electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions, then the intensity of light at a distance 0.5 m from the source is nearly

  1. A \(3.18 \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(0.31 \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(0.62 \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3.18 \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}\) \(I = \frac{10}{4\pi (0.5)^2}\) \(I = 3.18 \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
