The filament temperature of a light bulb is 1500 K when the bulb delivers 60 W of power. If its emissivity remains constant, what power is delivered when the filament temperature is 2000 K?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The power delivered when the filament temperature is 2000 K is  189.63 W.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature of the light bulb, T₁ = 1500 K

initial power delivered, P₁ = 60 W

Final temperature, T₂ = 2000 K

Final power delivered, P₂ = ?

Apply Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation;

[tex]\frac{Q}{t} = \alpha \epsilon AT^4\\\\P = \alpha \epsilon AT^4\\\\\frac{P_1}{T_1^4} = \frac{P_2}{T_2^4}\\\\P_2 = \frac{P_1T_2^4}{T_1^4} \\\\P_2 = \frac{60*(2000)^4}{(1500)^4}\\\\ P_2 = 189.63 \ W[/tex]

Therefore, the power delivered when the filament temperature is 2000 K is  189.63 W.
