Physics behind Eyes and Light

A light bulb rated at 100 W 100W is 20 20 % efficient. (i.e. 80 80 % of its output is invisible infra-red radiation and only 20 20 % is visible light.) A person can see the light with his naked eye from a distance of 10 k m 10km on a dark night. If given that the area of the pupil of the person's eye is 0.50 c m 2 0.50cm^2 , what is the power of the visible light received by the eye of the person?
