In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
It won't burn the filament.
What makes a light bulb shine brighter?
quality of reflector, type of light emission, (filament,gas filled)
Is the light bulb a successful invention?
Yes. Before light bulbs, homes and streets were lit by gas lamps, which each had to be lit by hand. The electric light bulb solved all those problems.
Why was argon gas chosen for a light bulb?
Argon is often used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used in this way in incandescent light bulbs to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs. A low-energy light bulb often contains argon gas and mercury. When it is switched on an electric discharge passes through the gas, generating UV light. The coating on the inside surface of the bulb is activated by the UV light and it glows brightly.
Why is argon used instead on air in the light bulb?
The filament in the light bulb is heated to a very high temperature. At such a temperature oxygen from the air would oxidise the metal(s) in the filament and thereby destroy the bulb. Using an inert gas such as argon in the bulb prevents such oxidation.
How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
Which gas used in light bulb?
The gas in a light bulb is Argon
Can a HID bulb work in a standard light socket?
No. An hid bulb has a transformer (ballast) that produces a certain voltage needed to fire the gas in that lamp.
Is there gas when you turn on a light bulb?
yes, there is a gas in a light bulb you energise it and it glows.
What gas is inside a light bulb?
The kind of gas that is in a light bulb is called Argon.
What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
What gases are in a light bulb?
Light bulb is filled with inert gas or simply a vacuum.
What the name of the gas is in a light bulb?
argon - inert gas
Is a light bulb a solid liquid or gas?
The bulb itself is a solid.
What is the filament in a light bulb?
An inert gas.
Does a light bulb consist of oil?
A conventional light bulb consists of glass, metal, and gas, but no oil
How is light produced in an ordinary incandescent bulb?
Electric power is put trough a metallic filament inside a bulb that is filled with an inert gas. the filament is surrounded by the inert gas rather then air to stop the metallic filament from oxidizing when it starts to glow as a result of the electricity being run through it. the glowing filament produces the light.
