(20 points) A 150 W incandescent light bulb consists of a 0.8 mm tungsten filament that is 15 mm long and radiates from its cylindrical surface as a blackbody at 2850 K .
a. How much radiation [W] is emitted by this filament?
b. From a Conservation of Energy (CoE) perspective, where does the balance of electrical power go? List two possible sources.
c. How much radiation [W] is emitted in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum i.e.0.4m visible spectrum 0.7m?
d. Defining efficiency as the ratio of radiant power [W] in the visible range to electrical power input W to the light bulb, what is the efficiency [%]?
