No, a light bulb is not a living thing because it does not exhibit characteristics of living organisms such as growth, response to stimuli, reproduction, or metabolism. Light bulbs are man-made objects that rely on electricity to produce light and do not have the characteristics of living organisms.

What type of light bulb is compatible with a blue refrigerator light bulb?

The type of light bulb that is compatible with a blue refrigerator light bulb is typically an LED bulb.


What is the job of the cells and wires and bulb and switch in a torch?

The job of a bulb is to give off heat and light energy


Can photosynthesis takes place in presence of light bulb?

No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the presence of a light bulb because the light emitted by the bulb does not contain the full spectrum of light wavelengths needed for the process. Plants require specific wavelengths of light, such as blue and red light, that are typically found in natural sunlight for photosynthesis to take place.


Why is light non living?

Light is considered non-living because it does not have cells, metabolism, or the ability to reproduce. It is a form of energy that does not meet the criteria for living organisms, such as the ability to grow, respond to stimuli, or adapt to the environment.


What is the function of a filament?

On a standard incandescent light bulb, the glass traps a set of gases around the filament that help keep the filament from burning up quickly. (The filament is the part that does the actual glowing inside the glass.) It also keeps the oxygen in the air that we breathe away from the filament. Oxygen is one of the gases that will vastly accelerate the destruction of the filament. (Also, the glass keeps anything from touching the electrical conductors inside.) The glass can also act as a filter to remove any ultraviolet radiation caused by certain types of light bulb's ("lamp's" technically) methods of creating a arc to produce light. When specially teated, the glass can also be used to break up the light rays to cause more diffused source of light. (Think "Soft White" to get an idea.)
