No.
Yes ,but you have to melt it at 3000'C
It depends upon the wattage of the light bulb. The lower the bulb wattage the lower the heat generated by the bulb. A 100 watt bulb should generate enough heat to destroy a rubber band.
Tissue paper could catch fire or burn near a hot light bulb, but it will not melt like plastic. It is important to keep flammable materials away from hot light bulbs to prevent fire hazards.
The silver melt value of the dimes are about $2 each and the quarter melt value is about $5.45 so the scrap melt value would be about $11.45.
The bulb glows because the filament inside ( made of tungsten) get's so hot that it becomes red and starts emitting light. A little of it's heat is also radiated to the glass of the bulb and that's what makes it hot. But it will never get hot enough to melt a rubber band.
Under the right circumstances, yes. So will, for example, a 15 watt soldering iron. It just won't melt very much. It is not the wattage that determines the temperature, it is the insulation (or lack thereof) around the bulb and chocolate that determine it.
The fuses in a light bulb are typically made of a thin strip of metal, such as tungsten or aluminum. These fuses are designed to heat up and melt when too much current flows through them, thus breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the bulb or the electrical system.
It would be illegal to melt them to find out!
Dimes minted in 1965 and after have a melt value of slightly over one cent depending on the metals market values. Dimes minted before 1965 have a melt value of about $1.22 depending upon the metals market values. These values are on November 4, 2017.
when HID bulbs blow up they can actually just be emitting the wrong kind of light. you can't see it but it is actually emitting powerful infared radiation. you can check for this by turning the bulbs to where they are supposed to be on and then placing a block of ice in front of the affected bulb. if the bulb is blown the ice will not melt. if it works, it will melt the ice

Thomas Edison is best-known for the light bulb.
