JEE Advanced · Physics · 12. Thermal Properties

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 W m-2 K-4, Wiens' displacement constant =2.90×103 m K, Planck's constant =6.60×1034 J s, speed of light in vacuum =3.00×108 ms1)

  1. A power radiated by the filament is in the range 642 W to 645 W
  2. 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
  3. C the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of light is 1160 nm
  4. D 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
