How is eletrical energy converted in light energy?
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.

Does a 60-watt electric light bulb create heat energy?
Yes. Part of the energy is converted to light, part to heat. The percentage depends on the type of light bulb. Fluorescent and LED light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs. A 60-watt incandescent bulb will be uncomfortable to remove from the socket with your bare hands after turning it off. However, a 100-watt bulb will burn you if you remove it with your bare hands after turning it off.
Is fluorescent light produced by heat?
Not in the way that an incandescent bulb does. A fluorescent lamp uses electricity to excite the particles of mercury vapor in the tube. This excited gas causes a phosphor to glow.
Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
What is the spectrum of fluorescent light?
light bulb
How is a light bulb better for growing plants then a fluorescent?
The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
What is a word that means a light bulb that uses more energy than a fluorescent light bulb?
incandescent
Which bulb last longer an incandescent light bulb or Compact fluorescent lights?
compact floresent
How efficient is a fluorescent bulb that emits the same amount of light as a 100w incandescent bulb?
It is about 5 times more efficient than the incandescent bulb, in other words for the same light a fluorescent uses one fifth the electric power.
What is the fluid in a fluorescent light bulb?
In a fluorescent light bulb there is usually a drop of mercury. That mercury vaporizes as the bulb warms up and it becomes gaseous, enhancing the electron interaction through the bulb, making it brighter.
How many 75 watt fluorescent bulbs are needed to give as much light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb?
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.
What advantages do fluorescent tubes have over incandescent bulbs?
Fluorescent tubes last longer and supply more light per watt of energy consumed than an incandescent bulb.

What kind of light bulb gives off the most heat?
Incandescent bulbs produce the most heat for a given amount of light; fluorescent lights produce much less heat, and LED produces the least.
Which type of light bulb is more efficient light bulb incandesent or an fluorescent light bulb?
Fluorescent is more efficient. Incandescent bulbs should not be used any more, except for some special purposes (mainly where they keep something warm).
What watt fluorescent bulb can you use to replace a 60watt incandescent bulb?
fluorescents are about 5x as efficientso a 12W will give about as much light
Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?
A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.
