How do you think energy transfers would be different in a lamp using a more efficient light bulb?

It would be more different since it will take up more power than the less efficient light bulb. Instead of using all the solar power it will probably need the forces of 2 energies to light the bulb.


Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?

No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.


Who invented the flouresent light bulb and why?

The fluorescent light bulb was invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt in 1901. The purpose behind its invention was to create a more energy-efficient lighting option than the incandescent bulb. The fluorescent bulb produces light by passing an electric current through mercury vapor, which then emits ultraviolet light that activates the phosphor coating inside the bulb to produce visible light.


Only a small percentage of the electric energy fed into a light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the remaining energy?

The remaining energy is typically transformed into heat due to the resistance of the bulb's filament. This is why incandescent light bulbs are not very energy efficient. LED light bulbs, on the other hand, are more efficient as they convert more of the energy into light rather than heat.


What is the swirly light bulb called?

The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.

What is the job of a light bulb?

The job of a light bulb is to convert electrical energy into visible light energy. (Not ALL of the electrical energy a bulb uses is converted to light energy. Their efficiency is quite low. An incandescent light bulb is more efficient as a heater than as a source of visible light. Fortunately, our eyes are very sensitive.)

How is a led bulb different to a light bulb?

LED light bulbs are more energy efficient, environment friendly, and provide you more savings.


Who invented the first light bulb in 1880?

Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the first practical incandescent light bulb in 1880. His design was the first to be practical for widespread use and had a long-lasting and efficient filament.
