A 100W bulb together with its power supply is suspended from a sensitive balance. Find the change in the mass recorded after the bulb remains on for 1 year.

There is a physical significance of special theory of relativity that Energy and mass are interchangeable and that is given by Sir Einstein famous equation E=m


Loss in the mass due to continuous illumination of bulb


ATQ, the bulb illuminates for 1 year i.e with power of 1 W or 1


Total energy dissipated by the bulb in the form of light energy will
