A 100 W tungsten filament light bulb functions by taking advantage of resistive losses

Chapter 2, Problem 59

(choose chapter or problem)

A 100 W tungsten filament light bulb functions by taking advantage of resistive losses in the filament, absorbing 100 joules each second of energy from the wall socket. How much optical energy per second do you expect it to produce, and does this violate the principle of energy conservation?
