What are the characteristics of the tungsten lamp spectra?

The characteristics of tungsten lamp spectra include a continuous spectrum with peaks in the visible and infrared regions, caused by the thermal radiation of the heated tungsten filament.


Why is iodine sometimes introduced into a tungsten lamp?

Iodine is introduced into a tungsten lamp to combine with the tungsten vaporized from the filament and create a tungsten iodide compound. This compound prevents the tungsten from depositing back onto the filament, thus extending the lifespan of the lamp. It also helps to maintain a stable color temperature of the light emitted by the lamp.


What is the purpose of halogen gas in a tungsten-halogen lamp?

The purpose of halogen gas in a tungsten-halogen lamp is to increase the lifespan and efficiency of the lamp. The halogen gas helps to recycle evaporated tungsten back onto the filament, preventing blackening of the glass and extending the life of the lamp.


What is lamp types?

There are two types of lamps the tungsten halogen lamps and incandescent lamps. Tungsten Halogen Lamps are similar to incandescent lamps and produce light in the same manner from a tungsten filament; however the bulb contains a halogen gas (bromine or iodine) which is active in controlling tungsten evaporation, whereas the incandescent lamp suppresses tungsten evaporation.


What light source does Spectrophotometry utilizes?

Spectrophotometry utilizes a light source such as a tungsten lamp, deuterium lamp, or xenon lamp to produce light at specific wavelengths. The light is then passed through a sample to determine its absorbance or transmittance at different wavelengths.


Why the lamp lights up?

Incandescence of a finely coiled tungsten wire.


How many types of lamps are there?

There are many different types of desk lamp, ranging from lamps using traditional tungsten (or enerygy saving bulbs) to lamps using the more powerful halogen lamp. These are usually used where brighter light is required.


What is used to make globe filaments?

The first successful light bulb filaments were made of carbon (from carbonized paper or bamboo). In 1902 the Siemens company developed a tantalum lamp filament. From 1898 to around 1905 osmium was also used as a lamp filament. In 1906 the tungsten filament was introduced
