Does a light bulb convert light in to chemical energy?
No a light bulb does not use chemical energy. Even though it uses the chemical mercury to create light. Hope this helps =)
Is a light bulb a compound?
No. The light bulb is two words, not a combination of light and bulb.
Why does mercury level goes down for a very short time when a mercury-in glass thermometer is placed in hot water?
The exterior of the bulb of the thermometer expands first, resulting in the mercury level to go down. After that the mercury in the bulb expands more than the glass bulb, resulting in the subsequent rise of the mercury level.
How do you produce light bulbs in CO2?
You do not. CO2 has nothing to do with the creation of a light bulb. A typical incandescent bulb has a vacuum inside. No light bulb uses CO2.
What gas is inside a light bulb?
The kind of gas that is in a light bulb is called Argon.
Who invented the flouresent light bulb and why?
Why? everyone was fed up with spending the time creeping around in the dark. Where? on the kitchen table.
How do you check florescent light ballasts?
The quick way if the bulb is flickering or out, replace if still flickering or out you need a new ballast!
How many amps does a 175 watt mercury vapor light use?
depending on voltage supplying the bulb, each ballast spicifies on it such rating. many ballasts have better efficiency at higher voltage. however; say 175 watt bulb, 120V with 80% efficiency= (175/120)/.8=1.82amps
Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
What is the fluid in a fluorescent light bulb?
In a fluorescent light bulb there is usually a drop of mercury. That mercury vaporizes as the bulb warms up and it becomes gaseous, enhancing the electron interaction through the bulb, making it brighter.
What does Hg stand for on a light bulb?
Hg = Mercury
Why does a fluorscent light not work in the cold?
fluorescent bulbs have mercury in them. There are heaters at the ends of the bulb that vaporizes the mercury to allow the light to be produced ( the fluorescence on the inside of the bulb is what actually glows). If the bulb is cold you do not get the ionization of the mercury to cause the fluorescent powder inside the bulb to glow, or it just glows a small amount.
How many atoms of mercury are in a light bulb?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. (For that reason, it is important to be very careful with a broken compact fluorescent bulb, because mercury is highly toxic.) Most other kinds of light bulbs do not contain any significant amount of mercury.
How a fluorescent light bulb works?
Fluorescent light bulbs have a gas inside of them called Mercury. The way that the light bulb works is that it uses electricity to "excite" the mercury atoms. This causes the mercury atoms to give of short wave ultraviolet light. this causes a phosphor which is any substance that can illuminate to fluoresce or emit light.
Does a light bulb convert light in to chemical energy?
No a light bulb does not use chemical energy. Even though it uses the chemical mercury to create light. Hope this helps =)
Are there gases and chemicals in a light bulb?
yes there is in the spiral energy saving light bulbs there is mercury
How can i remove a headlight bulb for a 1991 sable mercury?
Open the hood of the engine compartment. Locate the light bulb connector on the back of the headlight. Take hold of the light bulb connector, push in and turn at the same time. The light bulb will come out.
