Natural progression of experimentation usually leads to results that have no use at the time. This is still current in experimentation today. It is people that think outside the box that come up with uses for the results of these experiments. To answer the question you have to know what the inventor was thinking and trying to do at the time and was the electric light the goal or just a side result of the main experiment.

Who invented the light bulb and why did the invent it?
American, Peter Cooper Hewitt (1861-1921) patented (US. patent 889,692) the first mercury vapor lamp in 1901. The low pressure mercury arc lamp of Peter Cooper Hewitt is the very first prototype of today's modern fluorescent lights. A fluorescent light is a type of electric lamp that excites mercury vapor to create luminescence.
What does a hydrogen atom transitioning from the 2nd to the 1st excited state produce?
A hydrogen atom transitioning from the 2nd to the 1st excited state produces a photon of ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light has a specific wavelength corresponding to the energy difference between the two states.
Is an electric current that flows through a tungsten wire in a light bulb creating a glow an example of the 1st or 2nd law of thermodynamics?
It really shows both but the relationship to the 1st law is a lot more obvious.The light coming from the glowing wire is an example of energy. By the first law, that energy must have come from somewhere - in this case the electricity passing through the wire with some of that energy being converted to light. As soon as you quit supplying power to it, the wire will cool down and quit glowing - no energy input in the form of electricity means no output of energy in the form of light (and heat).The wire glows because it is getting hot. The second law dictates that as the energy moves through the wire, some of it will be dissipated in the form of heat. This relates to the 2nd law. The reasons why it has to dissipate as heat go into electron orbitals, inter-molecular forces and a bit of quantum physics which are outside the scope of this answer.
In Model 3 two of the light alleles were lost (through the death of the individual who had these two alleles) before reproduction occurred in the 1st generation how did this affect the distribution of?
In Model 3 two of the light alleles were lost (through the death of the individual who had these two alleles) before reproduction occurred in the 1st generation how did this affect the distribution of the three alleles in this small population?
Who developed the alternating current system?
Electricity was not invented by any one person, but its modern day use is the result of the work of inventors, scientists, and researchers, who toiled over the subject for millions of years. The inventor though was Nikola Tesla Famous for his invention above and the tesla coil, radio, and Tesla generator. He was born July 10th 1856 and sadly passed away on January 7th 1943. He was truly the father of electricity.
What was Thomas Edison's second invention?
In 1915, aged 68, he invented the first synthetic form of carbolic acid (C6H6O). He died in 1931, aged 84, in New Jersey, USA.

How do you light the lamps on Skullduggery Island?
The order to light them is 4th, 2nd, 1st. (or 2nd, 4th, 1st). At the island of Golden Harbor, there are 5 hanging street lights that are linked somehow. You have to get the 1st, 2nd, and 4th lights (from the left) on at the same time. The problem is that if you light the 1st one, then the 2nd, the 1st goes out. If you light the 3rd, then the 2nd, both the 1st and 3rd go out, and so forth. The pattern is to light them from right to left, with the 1st being the last one lit. The map piece will appear in the draped doorway near the 3rd light.

Who invented the light bulb and where?
he 1st light bulb was built by Humphry Davy (an Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison improved the invention and based his improvements on a patent he purchased from inventors Henry Woodward & Matthew Evans who patented their bulb in 1875 people actually say he invented the light bulb at his house in the toilet in his booty!
How would Thomas Edison like to be remembered?
being the 1st to invent electric bulb
What was Benjamin Franklins first invention?
Benjamin Franklin's first invention were wooden flippers. He made them for his hands and feet to help him swim better. He was 8 years old when he invented them.Ben franklins 1st invention were wooden flippers made when he was 8.
Who was the first person to the invent the light bulb?
The 1st electric lamp was built by Humphry Davy (an Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison improved the invention and based his improvements on a patent he purchased from inventors Henry Woodward & Matthew Evans who patented their electric lamp bulb in 1875.Sir Joseph Wilson Swan produced an early electric lamp (1860), and in 1880, independently of Thomas Alva Edison, he produced a carbon-filament incandescent electric lamp.Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 - October 18, 1931) was an American inventor, scientist and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric lamp.
