What type of energy is when you plug in a light bulb?
To plug it in, you use your muscle energy. When current flows through the bulb,electrical energy converted to the heat and light energy in the bulb.
Does an incandescent bulb and a light stick use the same form of energy to create light?
No. The incandescent bulb uses electrical energy and the light stick uses chemical energy.
Is a light bulb an example of stored energy?
No. A light bulb can only USE energy, it cannot STORE it. Before it can operate it needs to be given a supply of electrical energy and, from that input of energy, it produces outputs of energy in the form of heat and light.
Can you use an energy saving light bulb in a fitting with dusk to dawn sensor?
as long as the sockets for th bulb are the same and it is not a high pressure sodium or metal halide light
What is an example of an energy matter interaction?
an interaction is when you play an instrument. your mechanical energy can be turned into sound energy when you play. another one is when you use electric energy to power a fan or bulb. the electric energy will turn to heat and light.(this is for the bulb)
Ten things that use light?
lots of energy types are converted into light energy but there's probably nothing that is done by light energy. ex: a light bulb converts electric energy into light energy, but there's no machine that converts light energy into other energys

Does an incandescent bulb and a light stick use the same form of energy to create light?
No. The incandescent bulb uses electrical energy and the light stick uses chemical energy.
Does a light bulb convert light in to chemical energy?
No a light bulb does not use chemical energy. Even though it uses the chemical mercury to create light. Hope this helps =)
How do you transform electrical energy to light energy?
You use a light bulb.Such light bulbs use different types of technology; for example, the old-fashioned (and quite inefficient) incandescent bulb heats a wire, which acts as an electrical resistance, to the point where it glows.
How much energy does a normal light-bulb make in comparison to a colored one?
They are the same light bulb, so they are the same. The colored bulb has coloring applies on its outside surface. They do not make energy, they use energy.
Why is it better to use energy efficient light bulbs?
Energy efficient light bulb saves half of energy consumed by a regular bulb, although it has a lower range light compare to the high energy consumer bulbs.
Is a light bulb an example of stored energy?
No. A light bulb can only USE energy, it cannot STORE it. Before it can operate it needs to be given a supply of electrical energy and, from that input of energy, it produces outputs of energy in the form of heat and light.
Can you use a light bulb for solar power?
If you mean could you use the light from a bulb to energize a solar array or photovoltaic cell, the answer is yes. However the energy to run the bulb would exceed the energy produced by the array so you would have a net loss of energy in such a system.
When 60 W means that W joules of energy are transferred into the bulb each second. In use how much energy is given out by the bulb each second?
The light bulb will use electrical energy at the rate of 60 W (60 J/s), and it will emit that energy, also at the rate of 60 W.Note that in any real light bulb, only part of the energy is emitted as visible light. The remainder is mainly heat.
How do you prove that it is the wattage and not the physical size of a light bulb that matters for energy use?
Energy use is measured in watts. The watts used by a light bulb is on the package or the bulb. Find bulbs with the same wattage but different physical sizes if you want to prove this.
What kind of energy is used when turn on a light bulb is called?
Electricity is the type of energy that is used when you turn on a light bulb. When you leave a room, you use more energy by leaving the light on than if you turn it off and back on when you return.
