3)(15 points) A 60 W incandescent lightbulb has a tungsten wire filament 53.3 cm long and 46\(\mu \mathrm{m}\) diameter. Assuming the filament has an emissivity of 0.23 and neglecting the effects of any gas inside the bulb:
a) Calculate the surface area of the filament.
b) Calculate the equilibrium temperature of the glowing filament. If you did not get an answer to part (a) you may use \(1\mathrm{~cm}^{2}\).
c) Calculate the wavelength of peak radiated power from the filament. If you did not get an answer to part (b) you may use 2700 K . Is this wavelength in the ultraviolet, visible, or infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
