It is a physical change.

When you supply electricity, the electrons jump to higher energy state. When they come back to their level, it emits energy which falls in the visible region of light.

The atoms of the filament (Tungsten) are not going through any change, that changes their chemical properties. Tungsten, still remains tungsten!

physical. although the tungsten in the bulb is burning, most incandescent light bulbs "go out" because the tungsten filament breaks and there is no longer an electrical circuit to make the filament glow.

The glowing of an electric bulb is a physical change because the elements begin to expand due to heat. The change is not visible but can be seen under a microscope.

How will you classify matter as physical or chemical?

Physical never changes what it is; For example if you boil water its physical because you can change it back to water from precipitation, or if you tear a sheet of paper up it's still paper. Chemical- changes it's whole from it can never go back to what it was; Example, burning wood


What are physical and chemical changes and how are they the same and how are they different?

Physical changes are changes in something that affects the objects physical characteristics. Meaning things like the color, shape, amount. Example: cutting a piece of paper, painting a wall, etc. Chemical changes change what the object is made of. It can change everything, including the state the object(or liquid) is in.


Example of physical reaction?

riping paper, drawing on paper , washing clothessss there all reversible so they are physical changes not chemical


What changes of matter occur in respiration?

A change is said to be physical if no new substances are formed. Physical changes are temporary and can easily be reversed to give back the substances in their previous form. Freezing of water is an example of a physical change. A change is said to be chemical if new substances with different properties are formed. Chemical changes are permanent and cannot be reversed to give back the substances in their previous form. Burning of paper is an example of a chemical change.

Differences between physical and chemical changes?

A physical change is a change that does not change the chemical makeup of the substance. This can be crushing, tearing, or a phase change for example. A chemical change changes the chemical makeup of the substance. Some examples of this are rusting, combustion, or digestion.

Is the generation of light by an electric lamp a chemical or physical change?

This is a physical change. When the electrons go through the filament (or gas), there is no chemical change, only the physical change of temperature. The electricity to power the light may be generated chemically (fossil fuels or batteries) or from a hydroelectric plant. The light from "glow sticks" is an example of light generated by chemical changes.
