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 is the least efficient kind of light bulb?
It is the Incandescent light bulb. Most of the energy are lost as heat
Why do incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy?
Any form of electrical lighting will produce both light and heat, and with inefficient, incandescent lighting you get a higher proportion of heat rather than light, as compared to other forms of lighting such as fluorescent, or the most efficient, which is LED, which turns almost all of the electric power that it consumes into light, and very little into heat.
Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
How are LED's similar to incandescent light bulbs?
they light up
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.
Which type energy other than light energy is produced by incandescent light?
heat energy
What type of energy other than light energy is produces by incandescent light?
heat energyheat energy
Can be felt as heat from an incandescent light bulb?
Yes, incandescent light is produced directly by heating a filament so hot that it glows, in accordance with cavity radiation laws. The energy to heat the filament comes from the electricity passing through it.
How much of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy?
About 2 %.
What type of energy besides light energy is produced by incandescent lights?
Heat.
Fluorescent light more energy efficient than incandescent light?
Yes.
Give you two sources of light energy?
Two sources of light energy include the sun and incandescent light bulbs.
What device converts electrical energy into heat and light energy?
An incandescent light bulb would be a prime example.
Which type of energy other than light energy is produced by incandescent lights?
heat energy
What type of energy other than light energy is produced by incandescent lights?
heat energyheat energy
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.
