Does the size of the light bulb affect how much energy it uses with wire and a battery?

No, only the resistance of the filament counts (normally marked as "wattage" on the bulb).


Why you use argon or nitrogen gas in light bulb?

The filament lasts for a long time because argon is inert and will not oxidize the filament even at high temperatures. If air were used, the oxygen would quickly react with and destroy the hot filament within seconds of it being turned on. Quick experiment: Attach a wire to the positive and negative sides of a large flashlight battery (the large rectangular ones with the two coils coming from the top... I can't think of the proper size). Attach the back of one alligator clip to the open end of each wire (so the clip part is not clipped on the wire). String out some steel wool until you have a single strand (or two or three wound together). This essentially is a light bulb filament. Clip it into the two alligator clips and watch how fast it burns.


How does the distance from a page to a light bulb affect the amount of light that illuminates the paper's surface?

The intensity of light or other linear waves radiating from a source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source; so an object (of the same size) twice as far away, receives only one-quarter the energy.


What is an illuminated object?

When a substance is made of particles whose size is on the order of the size of light wavelengths that substance will cause the light to scatter, resulting in distortion of light that penetrates it. Thus light is transmitted but the material is not transparent. For example, add a few drops of milk to water or compare old, crazed, glass with new glass.

WHAT IS THE LOWEST VOLTAGE NEED TO LIGHT A LIGHT BULB?

A light bulb is manufactured to operate on a specific voltage. The voltage can be a low as needed and the manufacturer will compute the size of the filament that is needed for a specific wattage. If you are referring to a threshold voltage then that is another question that needs to be asked.


How does argon let you use an electric light bulb for many hours?

When the filament of a bulb becomes hot, it can react with the air around it, causing it to change size and / or shape, breaking the filament. Argon is unreactive, and so when this gas surrounds the filament, it prevents it from reacting, so preserving it for a longer period.

Why does a wire connected to a bulb not glow where as the filament of the bulb glows when the same current is passed through both connections?

It glows because the filament wire is exposed in a vacuum and electrically, the light is a high resistance load. You know the sparks you get when you rub two exposed hot electrical wires together? That's a dead short. Now, put that short in a vacuum where the wire can't oxidize, and presto! Incandescent light. The filament is made of tungsten, and tungsten has a very, very, very high melting point. It took Thomas Edison a long time to find it, but find it he did.
