A light source produces monochromatic light of wavelength 555 nm ....

A light source produces monochromatic light of wavelength 555 nm555 \text{ nm}. It consumes 100 W100 \text{ W} of electric power and emits 35 W35 \text{ W} of radiant flux. Compute the overall luminous efficiency.

Options

  1. A240 lumen/W240 \text{ lumen/W}
  2. B685 lumen/W685 \text{ lumen/W}
  3. C120 lumen/W120 \text{ lumen/W}
  4. D350 lumen/W350 \text{ lumen/W}

Correct answer

A. 240 lumen/W240 \text{ lumen/W}

Step-by-step solution

The relative luminosity of light of wavelength 555 nm555 \text{ nm} is 11.

The luminous flux corresponding to 1 W1 \text{ W} of radiant flux at 555 nm555 \text{ nm} is 685 lumen685 \text{ lumen}.

Total luminous flux emitted by the source is given by:

Φv=35 W×685 lumen/W=23975 lumen\Phi_v = 35 \text{ W} \times 685 \text{ lumen/W} = 23975 \text{ lumen}

The overall luminous efficiency is defined as the ratio of the total luminous flux to the total electric power consumed by the source.

Overall luminous efficiency =23975 lumen100 W=239.75 lumen/W= \dfrac{23975 \text{ lumen}}{100 \text{ W}} = 239.75 \text{ lumen/W}

Rounding off to the nearest integer, we get 240 lumen/W240 \text{ lumen/W}.
