Serway & Jewett β The First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 25.
Two lightbulbs have cylindrical filaments much greater in length than in diameter. The evacuated bulbs are identical except that one operates at a filament temperature of $2\,100^\circ\text{C}$ and the other operates at $2\,000^\circ\text{C}$. (a) Find the ratio of the power emitted by the hotter lightbulb to that emitted by the cooler lightbulb. (b) With the bulbs operating at the same respective temperatures, the cooler lightbulb is to be altered by making its filament thicker so that it emits the same power as the hotter one. By what factor should the radius of this filament be increased?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) Find the ratio of the power emitted by the hotter lightbulb; (b) With the bulbs operating at the same respective temperatures
