Can you recycle incandescent light bulbs?
Incandescent bulbs are not practical to recycle. There is not enough recyclable material in an incandescent bulb. Florescent bulbs including the new CFLs must be recycled be…cause they contain trace amounts of Mercury. In some states it's unlawful to dispose of a florescent light bulb as universal waste in a landfill. Each state has different requirements, visit http://www.lightbulbrecycling.com/regulations.html#State_Regulations for more information regarding your state's laws and requirements. (MORE)

How is light produced in an incandescent light bulb?
An incandescent light bulb has a coil of tungsten wire (called the filament) suspended in an evacuated (of air) glass bulb. Electricity is passed across the filament which, be…cause of its resistance glows white hot, producing the light. The filament does not melt or burn away because the melting point of tungsten is high and there is not air in the glass bulb for the hot tungsten to react with. (MORE)

What gas and filament is in an incandescent light bulb?
Most common house hold light bulbs are really just evacuated to really low pressures and contain a tungsten filament. the reason being is that tungsten has high resistivity an…d low corrosive properties. they used to use carbon in the beginning. the reason for the vacuum is to prevent evaporation of the filament. Argon Usually they are filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen and others are filled with a gas containing low pressure mercury vapour and argon, xenon, neon or krypton. An inert gas such as Argon (MORE)

How is light produced in an ordinary incandescent bulb?
Electric power is put trough a metallic filament inside a bulb that is filled with an inert gas. the filament is surrounded by the inert gas rather then air to stop the …metallic filament from oxidizing when it starts to glow as a result of the electricity being run through it. the glowing filament produces the light.

How is an incandescent light bulb different from a fluorescent light bulb?
An incandescent bulb differs from a fluorescent based on how it produces light. "Incandescent" means producing light through heat, this is essentially how an incandescent bulb… lights. As current travels to the tungsten filament, the filament heats and lights up as the tungsten filament begins to deteriorate and eventually fail. Fluorescent bulbs produce light when current excites gasses inside the glass envelope. As the gasses get excited they emit photons. Interestingly, the light produced by a fluorescent bulb does not fall along the visible spectrum until it passes through the white, phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb. And there you have it.

What is the answer to 20c plus 5 equals 5c plus 65?
20c + 5 = 5c + 65 Divide through by 5: 4c + 1 = c + 13 Subtract c from both sides: 3c + 1 = 13 Subtract 1 from both sides: 3c = 12 Divide both sides by 3: c = 4

What is the maximum voltage of incandescent light bulbs?
The maximum voltage of incandescent light bulbs is up to about three hundred volts. They can also go down as low as 1.5 volts. Incandescent light bulbs are the least efficient… lighting system. More modern methods like flourescent lightbulbs are far more efficient. (MORE)
