How is wind energy converted into light energy?

Wind power turns a turbine generator to produce electricity. Light is a form of electricity and electricity can be converted to light by light bulbs and fluorescent lighting, andd radio signals.


Is a light bulb an example of light energy or of electrical energy?

A light bulb converts energy from one form to another: from electrical energy to thermal energy in the form of light and heat. Most light bulbs which have an incandescent filament convert electricity into some light energy plus a lot more heat energy, whilst the type of light bulbs which use fluorescent tubes create much less heat and thus require much less electrical energy to run. Typically, to produce the same amount of light energy, compact fluorescent light bulbs require only 20% of the electrical power drawn by incandescents.


What type of energy is converted by hydro power plant of falling water into electricity?

Firstly kinetic energy into mechanical energy by turbine,then mechanical energy to electrical energy by generator.


What are two types of energy a light bulb releases when it is lit?

A light bulb radiates energy in form of electromagnetic waves. Most of them are in the infrared part of the spectrum (heat), some visible light and some in higher regions of the spectrum (ultraviolet), especially bulbs with very high filament temperature (halogen).Another answerA light bulb does not "produce" energy it uses electricity or more specifically changes electrical energy to electromagnetic waves in the forms of thermal and light.Thermal (or heat) waves at invisible infrared frequenciesLight waves at visible frequencies and invisible ultraviolet frequenciesFurther noteElectromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength in the range from about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms may be perceived by the normal unaided human eye.

Why is the power of a light bulb large?

Most light bulbs waste energy as heat. Even LEDs. Large light bulbs require more power.

How does fluorescent light bulbs help conserve energy?

It's because it need only 20% of the electrical power to produce as much light, therefore less energy is wasted.


What are energy efficient light bulbs?

A Low energy bulbs uses about 1/5 energy of a traditional bulb. ie. 20w (Low energy bulb) = 100w (standard filiment bulb) 80%+ traditional bulb s' energy is lost as heat. The 20% figure shown above only relates to the low energy bulb during its normal usage. The question was about the overall ecological balance, which includes ecological burden through manufacture, distribution and disposal (or recycling). Low energy light bulbs contain heavy metals, electronics and toxic materials, and are manufactured (and recycled) using much more complicated and, presumably, more ecologically damaging processes compared to those involved in traditional tungsten filaments. The question is still open thus.


Why can light bulbs be called heat bulbs?

Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.


How much energy do you save with 10 light bulbs off?

That depends on the power used by each light bulb. Look at the specifications for a specific light bulb, then multiply the power by 10. Note that energy = power x time; that is to say, the energy spent by a light bulb depends on its power, but also on how long you keep it on. Specifically, watts = joules x seconds.
