Estimate the radiation pressure due to a bulb that emits 25 W of EM radiation at a distance of 7.5 cm from the center of the bulb. Assume that light is completely absorbed.

Given Information:

Wattage of bulb = W = 25 W

distance = d = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

Required Information:

Radiation Pressure = ?

Radiation Pressure = 1.179x10⁻⁶ N/m²

Explanation:

The radiation pressure is given by

P = I/c

Where c = 299792458 m/s is the speed of light and I is the intensity of radiation and given by

I = W/4πd²

Where W is the wattage of bulb and d is the distance

I = 25/4π*0.075²

I = 353.67 w/m²

so the radiation pressure becomes

P = 353.67/299792458

P = 1.179x10⁻⁶ N/m²

Therefore, the radiation pressure due to a 25 W bulb at a distance of 7.5 cm is 1.179x10⁻⁶ N/m²

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
