It is a lamp that produces heat. Heat lamps are used to keep plants warm during cold weather. They also are helpful for warming sore body parts and for keeping you warm when you get out of the shower.

What type of waves are often used in the heat lamps?

The waves in the spectral band between radio and visible light, most commonly referred to as "heat" waves. Those that originate from devices manufactured in Trinidad, Singapore, and Jamaica are known as "tropical heat waves" etc.


EM radiation often emitted by heat lamps heaters and fires?

Infrared radiation is commonly emitted by heat lamps, heaters, and fires. This form of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light and can be felt as heat when absorbed by an object.


How hot do fluorescent lamps get?

Fluorescent lamps can reach temperatures between 150-250 degrees Fahrenheit during operation. The heat is mainly generated by the electrodes and the ballast of the lamp. It is important to handle fluorescent lamps carefully to avoid burns.


Do snakes need heat lamps at all times?

They do not necessarily need heat LAMPS at all times but they usually require some source of heat. Captive snakes may have a heating lamp or a heating pad or in hotter parts of the world may not require heating. In the wild they do not need heating lamps. They use the sun and may go under ground when it is too cold.


Less then a few present of the energy supplied to 100w lamp appears in the form of visible light What happens to rest of it What could be done to increase this percentage?

The remaining energy is radiated as heat. Making the filament hotter should increase the percentage of visible light. I believe some lamps (like halogen lamps) do this. But the real solution is to use other technologies - like fluorescent lights, or LEDs.The remaining energy is radiated as heat.

Can ultraviolet radiation be used in heat lamps?

No, ultraviolet radiation cannot be used directly in heat lamps because ultraviolet light does not generate heat. Heat lamps typically produce infrared radiation, which is what provides the warmth. Ultraviolet radiation is more commonly used for applications like sterilization or tanning.


What was used to heat and light before electrical energy?

Before electrical energy, heating and lighting were achieved using fire, candles, oil lamps, and gas lamps. Fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and oil lamps provided heat, while candles and gas lamps were used for lighting.


Which type of wave from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices?

Infrared waves from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices. These waves are able to transfer energy as heat when absorbed by an object and are commonly used in applications where heat is desired, like in infrared heaters and thermal imaging cameras.


Why do you need lamps?

What volt do you need for 2 heat lamps?

That would depend upon the voltage of the lamps. Heat lamps in a bath are usually 110 volts AC. You also need to know the wattage of the lamps. That will determine the capacity (think number of lamps) that the circuit could support. These ratings can be found on the lamp itself. The fixture supporting the lamp must also be of the correct capacity.


What waves are often used in heat lamps?

Infrared waves are often used in heat lamps to produce heat. These waves are capable of penetrating the skin and warming the body without heating the surrounding air.
