Can a plants live ona light bulb light or does it needs natuarl light from the sun?
Plants do not always need sun light to give it the energy it needs, there are lots of special light bulbs that you can but in lots of gardening shops, they usually come with the whole flower itself in a little packet thingy. So yeah, it can live on light bulbs but on special ones
Do all light bulbs give off UV light?
All lamps will give off UV but incandescent lamps will give-off unmeasurably small amounts. Discharge lamps essentially all contain mercury and mercury in the discharge gives off UV. However, most lamps are enclosed in UV-absorbing glass, either as primary containment or as an outer enclosure (bulb), so very little gets beyond the outer bulb. If any lamp emits more then almost no UV, it has to be marked (R in the US), and a warning given that it cannot be used in an open fixture - in other words, it must be used behind a UV absorber (usually what is called soft glass - similar to normal window glass).
True or false a planet is a body that gives off light of it owns?
A planet only reflects light from a star like our Sun. Earth is a planet and from experience it does not shine. Stars give off their own light.
Can you give me a science project for a 6th Grader?
A good science project for a 6th grader would be about magntism, like does the bigger the magnet mean the gravitational pull will increase if you try to pick up bigger things than that.
What burned to give light?
The sun, lamps, candles, and ect.
Do higher wattage bulbs give a brighter light?
No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.
How many 75 watt fluorescent bulbs are needed to give as much light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb?
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.
Do CF light bulbs produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs?
No, compact fluorescent bulbs run much cooler that an incandescent bulb. A CF bulb can be unscrewed when the lamp is on whereas an incandescent will give you a bad burn if this is tried.
Can you use 40 watt in a fluorescent light in place of a 32?
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
Are light bulbs really efficient?
Normal incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light, so are not so efficient as low energy bulbs which can give the same light but consume much less electricity
Why use a heater to warm up a room instead of a light bulb?
Light bulbs use a ton of energy. People have been lately switching to the fluorescent light bulbs which use less energy and last longer and don't give off nearly as much heat.
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.
What light bulbs provide the most natural light?
Any natural light bulbs that use incandescent lighting will work well, and give off a rounder light than the "sterile white" lighting of normal bulbs.
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
Does a regular light bulb use more energy than a fluorescent light bulb?
uses less electricity and produces less heat
Clear vs frosted light bulbs?
Those wanting softer, diffused light use frosted light bulbs. Clear bulbs give light that is brighter and suitable for everyday applications.
Why do stores offices and schools use fluorescent lights instead of incandescent?
Incandescent lights are expensive to run (they give off a lot of heat was well as light), incandescent lights are much more efficient. However modern LED light bulbs are better (more efficient) than both incandescent and fluorescent lights so in the future you will see a change to the use of these.
