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−2K−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)
- Apower radiated by the filament is in the range 642 W to 645 W
- Bradiated power entering into one eye of the observer is in the range 3.15 10−8 W to 3.25 10−8 W
- Cthe wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of light is 1160 nm
- Dtaking 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

For a black body,
First,
So,
Now,
Powers of 10:
Hence,
This is not in the range to .
So, Option A is incorrect.
- Option B: Power entering one eye
The bulb is treated as a point source radiating uniformly in all directions.
Intensity at distance is
Area of pupil:
Power entering one eye:
Substitute values:
This lies in the range
So, Option B is correct.
- Option C: Wavelength of maximum intensity
Using Wien’s displacement law,
Therefore,
So, Option C is correct.
- Option D: Number of photons entering per second into one eye
Given average wavelength,
Energy of one photon:
Now number of photons entering per second into one eye:
This lies in the range
So, Option D is correct.
