A light bulb radiates energy in form of electromagnetic waves. Most of them are in the infrared part of the spectrum (heat), some visible light and some in higher regions of the spectrum (ultraviolet), especially bulbs with very high filament temperature (halogen).

Another answer

A light bulb does not "produce" energy it uses electricity or more specifically changes electrical energy to electromagnetic waves in the forms of thermal and light.

Thermal (or heat) waves at invisible infrared frequencies

Light waves at visible frequencies and invisible ultraviolet frequencies

Further note

Electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength in the range from about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms may be perceived by the normal unaided human eye.

What types of energy are released by a light bulb?

A light bulb primarily releases electromagnetic energy in the form of visible light when it is illuminated. It also emits a small amount of thermal energy in the form of infrared radiation due to the heat generated by the bulb's filament.


What types of energy does a light bulb use?

A light bulb typically uses electrical energy to produce light. The electrical energy is converted into heat and light energy by the filament inside the bulb.


The element in a fluorescent light bulb that absorbs UV light and releases visible light energy is?

The element in a fluorescent light bulb that absorbs UV light and releases visible light energy is a phosphor coating on the interior surface of the bulb. When UV light hits the phosphor coating, it emits visible light, creating the illumination we see in fluorescent bulbs.


Is a lit light bulb exothermic or endothermic?

Exothermic, as the reaction is releasing heat into the surroundings.


What are the types of energy produced by a burning light bulb?

A burning light bulb produces mainly light energy as well as heat energy. When electricity passes through the bulb's filament, it heats up and emits visible light as well as infrared radiation, which we perceive as heat.


What type of energy is when you plug in a light bulb?

To plug it in, you use your muscle energy. When current flows through the bulb,electrical energy converted to the heat and light energy in the bulb.


What types of energy are in a light globe?

A light globe typically converts electrical energy into light and heat energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb which produces both light (radiant energy) and heat (thermal energy) when it is illuminated.


When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bulb Which form of energy leave it?

The energy that goes in is electrical energy; the energy that leaves it is visible light, as well as heat.
