Answer

(a) $1.9\mu J$ (b) $0.50mJ$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $I=\frac{P_{bulb}}{4\pi r^2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I=\frac{0.05(150)}{4\pi (2.5)^2}=95.49mW$ Now $E=Pt+LAt=I\pi r^2 t$ $\implies E=(95.49)\pi(0.0025)^2(1.0)=1.9\mu J$ (b) The required energy can be determined as $E=P\Delta t$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=(0.50)(1.0)=0.50mJ$
