What does the energy a light bulb change into after the lamp has been lit for a while?

Some of this light energy changes to thermal energy,or heat. You can measure this change by feeling the light bulb.An object that gains thermal energy becomes warmer.

What happens when a solid gains energy?

When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.
