There are many items in everyday life that involve a wedge. A spatula for cooking is a wedge, a door stopper is a wedge used to stop the door, and a knife use to chop vegetables is a wedge.
No, a light bulb does not involve a wedge. A light bulb typically consists of a glass bulb with a filament inside that emits light when electricity passes through it.
A compound machine consisting of a lever and wedge would typically involve using the lever to apply force on the wedge. For example, using a lever to push down on a wedge to split wood. The lever amplifies the force applied to the wedge, making it easier to perform tasks that would be difficult with just the wedge alone.
A thick wedge has a greater mechanical advantage than a thin wedge. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is calculated by dividing the length of the slope by the thickness of the wedge. Therefore, a thicker wedge will have a larger mechanical advantage since it has a longer slope relative to its thickness.
The dingbat answer for "wedge" is "cut a slice."
The efficiency of a wedge is determined by the ratio of output force to input force. It is calculated as the length of the slope divided by the thickness of the wedge. The ideal mechanical efficiency of a wedge is 50%, assuming there are no energy losses.

Wedge and segmental resections are still major surgery, but remove less tissue and may be the first choice for some patients, such as those with Stage I and Stage II non-small cell lung cancer.
Utility wedge. Similar to a gap wedge or approach wedge.
