Why is glass used to make electric bulbs?
Glass is used in light bulbs because it's clear (passes the light through), can withstand the heat generated by the filiment and does not leak air to the inside of the bulb. And, it's cheap and easily formed into the required shape(s)
How are xenon bulbs different from normal light bulbs?
Xenon bulbs are much brighter than regular light bulbs. They are more expensive that normal light bulbs. this is partly because of the cost of xenon gas, but also because of the heat generated by the bulb that requires them to be housed in quartz instead of glass.
Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?
Since the SAME electrons have to go through both light bulbs, the current in both light bulbs will be the same (Kirchhoff's current law).
Why are light bulbs filled with argon and not air?

Why argon gas is used in light bulbs but not air?

What kind of light is used in light bulbs?
Light is not used in light bulbs; light is created in light bulbs. From Edison to the invention of solid state devices, light bulbs were mostly incandescent. They made light by running electricity through a tungsten filament inside a glass bulb with the air removed. The filament got very very hot and emitted light waves (photons). The lack of air (oxygen) preserved the filament from burning up. The efficiency was atrocious, but they made light.

Is xenon in light bulbs?
In some light bulbs.
Are light bulbs fragile?
why light bulbs are fragile
What would happen inside a light bulb if it was filled with air?
It would no longer work. Light bulbs are usually under vacuum and if air gets in the filament blows.
Do light bulbs emit light or suck dark?
Light bulbs emit light.
