a) An incandescent light bulb with a surface area of 0.0136 m2 and an emissivity of 0.94 has a surface temperature of 176°C. What is the rate of thermal radiation emitted from the bulb [round your final answer to one decimal place]? b) If the surface of the light bulb in the question above acted like a black body radiator, it would emit less thermal radiation than what was calculated above: TRUE or FALSE?
