Question
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 1008C and the other operates at 2 0008C. (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

Answer:
a
b
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The filament temperature of the first bulb is
The filament temperature of the second bulb is
Generally according to Stefan-Boltzmann law the power emitted by first bulb is mathematically represented as
Here
is the Stefan-Boltzmann with value 
So
=>
Generally according to Stefan-Boltzmann law the power emitted by second bulb is mathematically represented as
=>
Given that the two bulbs are identical we have that
So
The ration is mathematically represented as
=>
Generally the area is mathematically represented as
Recall that
=>
=>
Now if the radius of the cooler bulb is increase by a factor Z (i.e Z * r )then the area of the cooler bulb![Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com A_2 [\tex] becomes [tex] A_2 = (Zr)^2](https://documen.tv/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-b27dc3e527ae3760a4cfd6f30846e213_l3.png)
=>
Here Z is the factor by which it is made thicker
So For
