Electrical energy is converted into heat. Most of this is emitted as infrared radiation; a lesser amount is also radiated as visible light (usually the main purpose of the lamp).
When electricity flows through the filament in an incandescent light bulb, it encounters resistance, which causes the filament to heat up. This heat generates light and infrared radiation, converting the electrical energy into both light and heat energy.
As electric current flows through the filament of a light bulb, resistance in the filament causes electrons to collide with atoms, generating heat energy. This heat energy leads to the filament glowing and emitting visible light. The conversion of electrical energy into heat and light energy is a result of the filament's resistance to the flow of electrons.

Yes, incandescent light is produced directly by heating a filament so hot that it glows, in accordance with cavity radiation laws. The energy to heat the filament comes from the electricity passing through it.
Electric energy is converted into light and heat energy in an incandescent lamp. The electric current passing through the filament of the lamp heats it up, causing it to emit light as well as heat.
We see the conversion of electrical energy into light in both incandescent and fluorescent lamps. The light emitting diode (LED) also does this.

Current passes through the filament of the bulb causing it to heat up. When it heats up, it becomes so hot it incandesces. That means it radiates light. When the filament is white hot, it radiates light across much of the visible spectrum. Incandescent lights also waste a lot of energy which comes out as heat.

In an incandescent light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy and then into light energy. When electricity flows through the filament of the bulb, it heats up and becomes white-hot, producing thermal energy. This thermal energy then causes the filament to glow and emit light energy.
The energy transfer in a toaster is electrical to heat (and light if the elements are glowing) and Conversion is electric to radiation.
When electrons travel through a filament, they collide with atoms in the filament material. These collisions cause the electrons to lose energy and heat up the filament, which then emits light. This process is how an incandescent light bulb produces light.
Energy flowing through the filament. In a traditional incandescent bulb most of the energy is radiated as heat which is why they are viewed as inefficient.
The glowing of an electric bulb is an example of a physical change. When electricity flows through the filament of the bulb, it generates heat and light, causing the bulb to glow. This process does not involve any chemical reactions or changes in the composition of the materials in the bulb. It is simply a conversion of electrical energy into heat and light energy, which is a physical transformation.
