Calculate the total power per unit area generated by a xenon lamp determined at 50 cm from the lamp by integrating the irradiance spectrum over the specified wavelength range of 250 - 400 nm. As the irradiance spectrum cannot be described analytically, convert the integral to a summation expression, and divide up the specified wave-length range in 6 bins (bin width = 25 nm). By summing, or numerically integrating, determine the total power per cm^2 generated 50 cm from the lamp. As an extra exercise, determine the total power per cm^2 generated at the lamp. Show the steps involved and explain your work....

Solution Summary

The total power per unit area generated by a xenon lamp in the wavelength range 250 - 400 nm is determined at 50 cm from the lamp by numerical integration of the irradiance spectrum. As an extra exercise, the total power per cm^2 was also determined at the lamp. The steps for both problems are clearly laid out and accompanied by a concise explanation to promote the best understanding..
