Which metal is used in making filament of a bulb?
The metal is Tungsten.
Sentence with filament?
Filament was made from plastic. The filament was very stable and smooth.
Where does a flashlight release its light?
There is a filament in the lightbulb usually and the batteries provide the energy to heat up the filament (in a lightbulb the little filament in TUNGSTEN). Once the filament heats (the filament is made of a metal), the atoms of the filament have a smaller electron circulating around them and the electrons get excited and jump from different orbits around atom and in so doing, produce wavelengths of light... and this is the light you see.

Explain why the filament must be made of metal?
So it could easily pass electric current to the "metal" ,hence also producing light and non other the heat.
What is the filament used in tubelight-?
The type of filament used in tube light is that one which is thin and surrounded by an oblong metal shield.
Why do lightbulbs burn out?
They burn out from 1) the rapid heating and cooling of the Tungsten filament, and 2) from the tungsten atoms being released from the metal filament by way of the extremely high temperatures. Eventually the tungsten metal fails and the filament breaks.
Why does the filament in a light bulb not burn up immediately?
The 'Filament' of a lightbulb is a peice of metal with an unusually high melting
What is a light bulb filament?
the filament is the metal peice in a bulb that glows.Tungsten is most often used in a lightbulb.
Why bulb filament does not burn at high temperature?
The metal will melt if you do that.
What is a metal that glows when electricity is passed through it?
It is a tungsten filament.
What is a light bulb wire made out of?
A light bulb is made out of three items. A filament produces the light, glass gives the light bulb shape and controls the brightness, and the base allows the bulb to be placed in a socket.
