What makes a light bulb an example of radiation?
The luminous radiation emitted by the light bulb.
What is heated by radiation?
Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely on any contact between the heat source and the heated object (as is the case with convection and conduction) Examples of radiation is heat from the sun or from the fliament of a light bulb
What radiation is the light bulb?
Light, heat, and a very small amount of electromagnetic field.
How does radiation occur in a light bulb?
Yes, if its on.
What is the glass around a light bulb called?
a bulb
How can an electric light bulb transfer heat in covection radiation and conduction?
Conduction: Heat travels via Metal parts on Bulb Convection Current: Hot air around bulb rises and cool air replaces it thus heat from bulb will consistantly warm up cool air around it. Radiation: Bulb is bright and shiny, thus emits infra red radiation. These are my opinion and they are not model answers. Mr Lin. from Singapore zillusia100 a.t. yahoo point com point sg
How can conduction be helpful?
Conduction can cause a spark which can light a light bulb. Conduction can be used to heat up metals.

What are you feeling when you feel the warmth from a light bulb on your skin?
Conduction

If you increase the number of watts in a light bulb will the amount of radiation it produces increase too?
If you are talking about light radiation then the answer is yes. You can see the difference between a 40 watt bulb and a 100 watt bulb just by looking at them.
