Assume that the radiation is emitted isotropically and neglect reflection.

best_answer

Total power which is converted into visible radiation = 5% of 100W = 5W

The above means 5J of energy is passing through the surface of a concentric sphere(with the bulb at its centre) per second.

Intensity for a sphere of radius 1m

 =\frac{5}{4\pi (1)^{2}}

=0.398 Wm-2
