What normally is made from glass?
Windows, bottles, a glass for your wine, beer or orange juice, mirrors, ornaments, marbles, test tubes, and light bulbs are examples of things normally made from glass.
What are the bulb of light bulbs made of?
The actual protective cover is either made of plastic or glass. The part that is screwed into a socket is aluminum, and the filament wire is made of carbon.
Do you use pig hair to make a light bulb?
No, pig hair is not used to make light bulbs. Light bulbs are typically made using a combination of glass, metal, and tungsten or other types of filaments. Pig hair is not a suitable material for this purpose.
What challenges were faced by thomas Edison when he made the light bulb?
He made 1,000 non-working light bulbs, but then, finally, he made a working one.
Why you use argon or nitrogen gas in light bulb?
The filament lasts for a long time because argon is inert and will not oxidize the filament even at high temperatures. If air were used, the oxygen would quickly react with and destroy the hot filament within seconds of it being turned on. Quick experiment: Attach a wire to the positive and negative sides of a large flashlight battery (the large rectangular ones with the two coils coming from the top... I can't think of the proper size). Attach the back of one alligator clip to the open end of each wire (so the clip part is not clipped on the wire). String out some steel wool until you have a single strand (or two or three wound together). This essentially is a light bulb filament. Clip it into the two alligator clips and watch how fast it burns.
What are light bulbs made out of?
glass and such
Are sodium light bulbs made of glass?
Yes, Sodium bulbs have a glass center piece and a glass bulb surround.
What element is in light bulbs?
The bulb has a filament made up of tungsten and a low pressure inert gas (argon, neon, nitrogen).
Which element is used in light bulbs as the filament?
Generally, tungsten.
What normally is made from glass?

Is it dangerous to break fluorescent light bulbs on your back if you drain the mercury?
Yes, and not just because of the glass it is made of. The bulbs have mercury inside of them which can make you ill.
Is a television screen made out of quartz?
No, it is not. It is made of argon gas and glass
Could a light bulb make plastic melt?
Older style light bulbs got very hot so they needed to be made of a substance that could withstand high temperatures and also allow light to pass through. Glass fitted the bill on both counts, plus it was cheap to produce and can easily be made into the required shapes.
What kind of light is used in light bulbs?
Light is not used in light bulbs; light is created in light bulbs. From Edison to the invention of solid state devices, light bulbs were mostly incandescent. They made light by running electricity through a tungsten filament inside a glass bulb with the air removed. The filament got very very hot and emitted light waves (photons). The lack of air (oxygen) preserved the filament from burning up. The efficiency was atrocious, but they made light.
What are the bulb of light bulbs made of?
The actual protective cover is either made of plastic or glass. The part that is screwed into a socket is aluminum, and the filament wire is made of carbon.
What are the similarities between incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs?
They both produce light, they run on electricity, they're made out of glass and they contain argon under low pressure. Fluorescent lights are better because they last longer and are more energy efficient! :) -kelly.t (:
Is carbon wire still in light bulbs?
Modern light bulbs are made of tungsten wire.
