What else can I help you with?
Is the light from an incandescent lamp monochromatic?
No, an incandescent bulb i.e. a bulb that emits light by the generation of heat, emits white light and is therefore not monochromatic. For a source to be monochromatic, the light emitted must be of a single wavelength.
Which puts out the greater percentage of its energy as light an incandescent lamp or a mercury vapor lamp?
A mercury vapor lamp puts out a greater percentage of its energy as light compared to an incandescent lamp. Mercury vapor lamps are more efficient at converting energy into light, whereas incandescent lamps produce more heat than light, making them less energy efficient.
Can an incondescent lamp dimmer be used to control a fluorescent lamp load?
No, incandescent lamp dimmers are not compatible with fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps require special dimming ballasts to control their light output. Attempting to use an incandescent lamp dimmer with a fluorescent lamp can cause damage to the lamp and dimmer.
What was the light bulb originally called?
It was called the T. A. Edison electric - lamp. In Europe it was called the Ediswan lamp.
What is equal to 60 watt in CFL?
If the question is what wattage compact fluorescent (CFL) lamp has a similar light output to an incandescent lamp of a given wattage, the ratio is usually about 4. A 60W incandescent can be replaced by an 13-15 W CFL lamp. A 60W CFL lamp can replace a 300W incandescent lamp.
Which is a better floor lamp - incandescent or fluorescent?
Incandescent floor lamps emit a lower ray of light, therefore you won't get as bright a light shine. A flourescnet light is much brighter. It really depends on where you will put the lamp.
What is another word for light bulb?
Incandescent lamp
What was the first name of the light bulb?
The Incandescent Lamp
What is another word for light like a light bulb?
incandescent lamp
What is incandescent light bulb?
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
What light sources emits only a continuous spectrum a. hydrogen gas b. mercury lamp c. sodium lamp d. incandescent lamp e. laser?
d. incandescent lamp
Hoe does electrical energy get into light energy?
That depends on the type of lamp. For example in an incandescent light, the electricity simply heats up a wire until it glows.
Is the light from an incandescent lamp monochromatic?
No, an incandescent bulb i.e. a bulb that emits light by the generation of heat, emits white light and is therefore not monochromatic. For a source to be monochromatic, the light emitted must be of a single wavelength.
What type of energy is converted in an incandescent lamp?
Electric energy is converted into light and heat energy in an incandescent lamp. The electric current passing through the filament of the lamp heats it up, causing it to emit light as well as heat.
What did Thomas Edison name the light bulb?
He named his invention the Incandescent Lamp, But it's commonly referred to today as the Incandescent Light Bulb.
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.
What are five common types of light bulbs?
there are 98 different kinds of light bulbs. including colored light bulbs
