Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure (absolute pressure) when the bulb has a temperature of 19.0°C. (Enter your answers to at least four significant figures.) (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb in atmospheres when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 52.0°C (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. 2.13e5 x atm (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. What will the actual final gauge pressure be in atmospheres, taking this into account? 2.12e5 x atm Is this a negligible difference? (Assume the difference is negligible if the two pressures are within 2.0% of each other.) o Yes No
