Do incandescent light bulbs not get as hot as fluorescent light bulbs?
No, given the same lumen rating. Florescent lights are more electrically efficient than incandescent bulbs. Be careful, fluorescent bulbs currently contain mercury and should be handled and disposed of properly. For more information, you may also want to read. http://home.howstuffworks.com/question236.htm
What will happen if you increase the mass of an object what will the potential energy do?
If you increase the mass of an object, the potential energy will increase.
What are the positive aspects of using this resource type of energy?
Solar energy is renewable. and it is a natural energy .
What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.
According to classical physics what should happen as a filament in a light bulb gets hotter?
It should give off light of increasing energy- from red, to violet, and then into ultraviolet.This is because classical physics believed that the color of the light will correspond with the increasing of energy until it reaches ultraviolet. This is somewhat true as the color does correspond with the increasing energy but no matter how much energy there is, it will never reach ultraviolet. modern physics found that it will only stay white.
What energy changes happen when water evaporates?
The entropy is changed.

Why does my Compact fluorescent lamp spark inside lamp when I turn it off?
sparks occur when the electrons are excited. This can happen by givong energy to electrons. Instead of city voltage, the magnetic fields or electromagnetic waves in air could give that energy.
Can you put fluorescent tubes on a dimmer switch?
Yes, as long as it is just incandescent bulb lighting connected to the track. If there is a transformer between the voltage source from the track and the light bulb (e.g. low voltage quartz bulbs) then these fixtures can not be dimmed.
Is it posible for a fluorescent material to emit radiation the ultraviolet region after observing visible light explain?
not possible, as visible light photons have less energy and ultraviolet photons need more energy. Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. So by conservation principle ultraviolet photon as they fall on fluorescent material could give out less energetic light photons, but the converse is not possible.
How does energy happen?
energy doesn't happen, it exists. for energy to happen, energy would have to be an action (verb), but it is a thing (noun).
What would happen to the amount of energy received from the Sun if the rotation of the Earth changed?
Nothing. Provided the earth remains in the same orbit, then a change of rotation would not change the amount of solar energy reaching the earth.
What will happen without energy?
Nothing. For anything to happen at all, energy - more specifically, available energy - is required.
Is a halogen lamp a type of incandescent lamp?
A halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament contained within an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen such as iodine or bromine.More detailsA special physical feature is exploited in halogen lamps: when small amounts of a halogen gas were added to the contents of a normal incandescent light bulb, these were found to help to return large quantities of evaporated tungsten atoms back to the filament.This treatment results in a significantly longer lifetime of such lamps.Additionally it has the benefit that halogen light bulbs can be operated at a higher temperature than can be used for ordinary light bulbs. This results in less heat production compared to light output and an overall much higher efficiency in the conversion of the energy input (electrical energy) to the energy output as light.General note about how all incandescent filament light bulbs operateAn electrical current travelling through the filament of a light bulb makes it glow white-hot and generate both light and heat because of the electrical resistance of the filament.The filament is normally mounted within a special mixture of noble and/or inert gases held inside the glass enclosure of the light bulb, held at a pressure which is close to a vacuum.The special mixture of gases prevents the filament from oxidizing and burning away, which would happen extremely quickly if it glowed white-hot in normal air which contains oxygen.

What well happen if the light bulb was not invented?
We would use other sources of light such as fluorescent light tubes or neon lights.
