Light Source in Sphere

A closed, hollow, opaque, non-reflective container has the shape of a unit-sphere centered on the origin in the x y z xyz coordinate system.

There is an isotropic light source positioned within the sphere at ( x , y , z ) = ( 1 2 , 1 2 , 1 2 ) (x,y,z) = \Big( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \Big) . What fraction of the total emitted power is incident on the half of the sphere which has negative x x coordinates?

If this fraction is α \alpha , where 0 < α < 1 0 < \alpha < 1 , give your answer as 1000 α \lfloor 1000 \, \alpha \rfloor .


The answer is 212.
