Answer the following questions, since the lamp whose light distribution curve is given has a power of 23.4 W and an efficiency factor of 112 lm/W.a) How many lumens is the luminous flux of the lamp?b) If the lamp were a smooth sphere, that is, if the luminous intensity was constant in all directions, how much cd would this value be?c) If the lamp were a regular sphere, how many lx would the luminosity level it would create from a height of 2 m just below it?d) If the lamp were a hemisphere, how many lx would the illuminance it create from 2 m above it be? (r = 10cm)e) Note that the values in the light distribution curve of the lamp shown in the figure are given as cd/klm (cd / 1000 lm). According to this, how many lx will be the (real) illuminance level that will be created directly under the lamp from 2 m high?f) How many lx will be the illuminance of the lamp on a plane illuminated by the same height at an angle of 30°?

The brightest star in the sky is Sirius, the Dog Star. Itis actually a binary system of two stars, the smaller one (Sirius B)being a white dwarf. Spectral analysis of Sirius B indicates that itssurface temperature is 24 000 K and that it radiates energy at a totalrate of 1.0 · 1025 W. Assume that it behaves like an ideal blackbody.(a) What is the radius of Sirius B? Express your answer in kilometersand as a fraction of our Sun’s radius (R= 6.96 · 108 m).

The surface temperature of a star is measured to be 6000 Kelvin. According to Wien's Displacement Law, at what wavelength does the star emit the maximum intensity of radiation?
A lightbulb manufacturer makes bulbs with different "color temperatures," meaning that the spectrum of light they emit is similar to a blackbody with that temperature. Assuming the emitting areas of the filaments in two bulbs with color temperatures of 2,000 K and 4,000 K are the same, which of the two is the brighter? About how much brighter is this bulb than its companion?
Our sun is a standard sequence yellow dwarf star with a temperature of about 6000 K and a radius of about 7 x 10^8 m, emitting about 3.8 x 10^26 W. There are yellow giant stars with the same blackbody color (temperature) but with a radius 10 times larger than our sun (7 x 10^9 m). Estimate the power (emitted radiation) from one of these yellow giant stars. (Hint: how much larger is the surface area of the yellow giant star, and pay careful attention to the power of 10 below.)
