There is a vacuum around the filament Heat is the excitement of molecules and the fact there are none around the filament the heat cannot be transferred to the glass. It is the same reason you should not pick up a hot pot or pan with a wet towel and why a Styrofoam cooler works so well. Air is better than water for insulation and a vacuum is even better.

Why do bulb filament not burn?
The filament does not "burn", it just glows brightly. If some air were present in the bulb - as sometimes happens if a light bulb gets knocked and gets even a tiny crack in its glass bulb - then the oxygen present in ordinary air will quickly make the filament burn away.For more information see the answer to the Related question sghown below.
Can you use a 13.5 volt light bulb in place of a 12 volt Will it be burn as bright?
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
Will a light bulb burn or melt a rubber band?
It depends upon the wattage of the light bulb. The lower the bulb wattage the lower the heat generated by the bulb. A 100 watt bulb should generate enough heat to destroy a rubber band.
Why bulb filament does not burn at high temperature?
The metal will melt if you do that.
Why would a light bulb burn out after two days of use?
If a light bulb is handled roughly before it was installed, the filament holder could have been weakened. Another reason that bulbs burn out before their time is that they are being submitted to a higher voltage than the bulb rated for.
Why tungsten wire does not burn even though temperature inside the bulb is 2700 degrees celsius?
Tungsten has the highest melting point (3,442°C -or- 6,192°F) of all non-alloyed metals, and after carbon, it is the second highest.

Why do lightbulbs burn out?
They burn out from 1) the rapid heating and cooling of the Tungsten filament, and 2) from the tungsten atoms being released from the metal filament by way of the extremely high temperatures. Eventually the tungsten metal fails and the filament breaks.
Why does the filament of a light bulb not burn?
The filament of a light bulb does not burn because it is made of a material, typically tungsten, that has a high melting point and is able to withstand the high temperatures generated by the electric current passing through it. Additionally, the filament is enclosed in a vacuum or inert gas to prevent it from reacting with oxygen and burning up.
What color flame do you get when you burn tungsten?
When tungsten is burned, it produces a bright white flame. This is due to the high temperature required to ignite tungsten, which causes it to emit a white light.
What causes a light bulb to turn black when they burn out?
As an incandescent light bulb is used, tungsten slowly evaporates from the filament causing it to get thinner. When it gets too thin it can no longer carry the current and part of it melts causing the bulb to blow out.
Can you bake a pie casing without baking beans?
no cause it will burn and taste sour
What is principle of electric bulb?
An incandescent light bulb is an appliance that converts electrical energy into visible light. When current goes through a modern light bulb, it passes through a series of connectors which are set up to deliver this current to the tungsten metal filament found at the center of the bulb.The filament is a resistor, when the current goes through it, the filament heats up. Shortly the filament becomes white hot and it begins to glow.A halogen light bulb is a special type of incandescent light bulb with extended lifetime.In an incandescent bulb the tungsten of the filament slowly evaporates, making the filament weaker and when it weakens enough it burns out. Also tungsten condenses out on the cooler glass bulb, darkening it.In a halogen bulb some type of halogen gas (e.g. fluorine, chlorine) is added to the mix of gasses in the bulb (e.g. argon, dry nitrogen), the halogen gas combines with the tungsten vapor then redeposits the tungsten back on the hottest parts of the filament.The hottest parts of the filament are the thinnest and most likely to burn out. The tungsten deposited on them thickens them making them less likely to burn out, and they cool slightly as their electrical resistance drops.A fluorescent light (e.g. CFL bulb) uses a tube filled with gasses (including mercury vapor) to create an electrical arc. This arc produces UV light.The inside of the glass tube is coated with a powdered chemical called phosphor, that absorbs UV light and emits visible light.An LED light bulb uses an array of ultrabright white light LEDs and a combination of prisms, lenses, and diffusers to scatter the light.LEDs are semiconductor devices that produce light at a PN junction in a material having a large bandgap between conduction and valence band energy levels, when electrons fall into holes in such a material they generate photons.
How do you change a fog light bulb in a 91 Firebird?
Reach underneath to get behind it. You then unplug the light (and holder) to reveal lamp. Similiar to the new halogen headlights where you replace just the bulb instead of the entire casing. It's really a pain to reach it. BE CAREFUL to not touch the glass part of the new bulb. Most are halogen and will burn out prematurely if grease or even oil from your fingers are left on it.
What will happen if a 20K bulb is connected to a 1200AH battery?
The bulb will burn for 15 minutes.
Can you use a 13.5 volt light bulb in place of a 12 volt Will it be burn as bright?
A 13.5 volt bulb will burn less brightly but last longer.
how many days the bulb lasted?
Takes 300 hours for the average light bulb to burn out
