An electric light bulb converts electrical energy into thermal energy which is in the form of radiated light and heat.
For example, the " easy bake oven" uses a light bulb to cook the food.

What material makes the bulb light up?
The fillement inside the bulb makes it light up. It acts a ressistor and only lets a small bit of electricity through, therefor pressurising the energy which makes it hot and makes it glow.
Is a dark light bulb starting to glow a conversion from chemical energy to mechanical?
No... Electrical to heat (mainly) and light.
What energy trasnformations occur in a incandescent light bulb?
In an incandescent light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy and then into light energy. When electricity flows through the filament of the bulb, it heats up and becomes white-hot, producing thermal energy. This thermal energy then causes the filament to glow and emit light energy.
Why does a light bulb filament glow?
The filament inside is heated. Once it gets hot enough, it dissipates some of the energy as heat and light.
Can a tomato glow when connected to a light bulb?
no

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.

In an incandescent light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy and then into light energy. When electricity flows through the filament of the bulb, it heats up and becomes white-hot, producing thermal energy. This thermal energy then causes the filament to glow and emit light energy.
Is a dark light bulb starting to glow a conversion from energy to mechanical energy?
No because mechanical energy means that something is being physically moved.
Why does a light bulb filament glow?
The filament inside is heated. Once it gets hot enough, it dissipates some of the energy as heat and light.
Can a tomato glow when connected to a light bulb?
no
What do you need to make a light bulb glow?
Light bulbCurcitBatteryWires
Does a light bulb glow brigther with a thin or thick wire?
A thinner wire in the bulb increases resistance and causes the metal to " burn hotter" converting the electrical energy into thermal and radiant energy
How does a battery make a light bulb glow?
The flow of electrons from the battery flow through the filament in the bulb causing it to get hot and glow thus producing light.
IF a bulb travels at the speed of light and is turned on will it glow?
It could not travel at the speed of light. But hypothetically, it would glow.
What do gases in a light bulb do?
heat up and glow
