The tungsten filament of an incandescent light bulb has a temperature of approximately 3000 K. The emissivity of tungsten is approximately 1/3, and you may assume that it is independent of wavelength. If the bulb gives off a total of 100 watts, what is the surface area of its filament in square millimeters?
