What happens during a light bulb burning out?
A light bulb works by passing electricity through a long, thin piece of metal that is called a filament. The electricity heats up the filament much like an electric stove heats up its elements. The heat, through black body radiation, causes the filament to emit light. But, the heat also stretches and thus weakens the filament. Over time the weakening will break the filament along the heated portion and this is called "burning out" in common language.
How does the filament in a light bulb work?
it is made of tungsten and is a resistor when current flows thru it it heats up and glows
What happens to the particles of an object as it heats up?
nothing
What happens to a material when it absorbs light?
Normally, it heats up.
What happens to an object when it absorbs light energy?
heats up
What heats up the filament in radiology machines?
The Rotor!

What happens to the electrical energy used to light a light bulb?
It heats the filament (which glows and so generates electromagnetic energy).
What is the property of the filament that makes it light up when electricity flows through?
the simple answer is resistance, the filament is a very fine wire (usually tungsten) that heats up and glows when power is applied

How do tungsten-halogen bulbs generate light?
Inside a tungsten-halogen bulb, electrons flow through a tungsten filament. The filament heats up and emits light.
How does the filament in a light bulb work?
it is made of tungsten and is a resistor when current flows thru it it heats up and glows
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
What is the purpose of the filament inside the light bulb?
The filament is a special metal composition of tungsten that conducts current and heats up and emits light as a result of the current and its internal resistance.
What does the filament of a light bulb allows the light bulb to change electrical energy to?
The filament of a light bulb overs enough resistance to current flow, that the filament heats up so much that it will glow and produce visible light.
What do you think happens when some air heats up and other air is cool?

What happens when it is heated?
"It" heats up,unless you were talking about that.
