What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
Who founded the light bulb?
Thomas Edison invented the light bulb used in American homes.
Why do you need to have the glass on the outside of a light bulb?
The glass envelope, or bulb, of an incandescent light bulb is needed to hold the inert gas, such as argon, that fills the space. The filament of a light bulb is made of tungsten wire. When electricity passes through it the filament becomes extremely hot and emits light. The inert gas surrounding the filament protects it from evaporating too quickly. A light bulb only lasts as long as its filament lasts.
Why would oxygen not be a suitable gas in a light bulb?
It is too reactive
Is all the air vacuumed out of a light bulb or is special air pumped in?
The filament (assuming an incandescent bulb) would burn up very quickly.
Which gas used in light bulb?
The gas in a light bulb is Argon
What gas is used inside a light bulb?
An inert noble gas is used inside light bulbs.
What gas is inside a light bulb?
The kind of gas that is in a light bulb is called Argon.
Is there gas when you turn on a light bulb?
yes, there is a gas in a light bulb you energise it and it glows.
In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
It won't burn the filament.
What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
What elements are used in lightbulbs?
Tungsten and an inert gas can be found inside of a light bulb.
Why was argon gas chosen for a light bulb?
Argon is often used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used in this way in incandescent light bulbs to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs. A low-energy light bulb often contains argon gas and mercury. When it is switched on an electric discharge passes through the gas, generating UV light. The coating on the inside surface of the bulb is activated by the UV light and it glows brightly.
Do you have to have the glass on the outside of the light bulb?
Yes, it is used to contain the inert gas that surrounds the filament.
What gases are in a light bulb?
Light bulb is filled with inert gas or simply a vacuum.
What the name of the gas is in a light bulb?
argon - inert gas
Is a light bulb a solid liquid or gas?
The bulb itself is a solid.
