Depends on your definition of waste. The obvious one is heat unless you are using bulb for an Easy Bake oven in which case the light might be considered waste and heat the primary usage. One could also say that in certain bulbs perhaps there are some light frequencies that may be annoying or not useful.

When a light bulb is on what energy goes in the bulb which forms of energy leave it?

When a light bulb is on, electrical energy goes into the bulb and is converted into light energy and heat energy. Some of the electrical energy may also be converted into a small amount of sound energy due to vibrations in the bulb.


What 2 forms of energy does a light bulb give out?

A light bulb gives out light energy and heat energy as forms of energy. The light energy is emitted as visible light, while the heat energy is generated as a byproduct of the bulb's operation.


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.


What forms of energy are tranferred from battery to light bulb?

The forms of energy transferred from a battery to a light bulb are chemical energy (stored in the battery) being converted to electrical energy (flowing through the wires) and then to light energy and heat energy (produced by the light bulb).


What energy forms can electric light bulb make?

A light bulb can make heat and light.


When the light bulb is lit elactrical energy will be converted into two different forms of energy what are these two forms of energy?

Light and heat


What two forms of energy is electrical energy changed into a light bulb?

When electricity flows through a light bulb it is converted into what two forms of energy?

kinetic energy and light energy.


What forms of energy are given off by a light bulb?

A light bulb gives off mainly light energy as well as heat energy. When electricity flows through the filament in the bulb, it gets hot and emits light.


Which forms of energy are produced by a light bulb?

A light bulb produces light energy and thermal energy while it is turned on. The light energy is visible light that illuminates the surroundings, while the thermal energy is the heat generated as a byproduct of the light production.


What are two forms of energy when a light bulb converts 10 percent of electrical energy?

When a light bulb converts 10 percent of electrical energy, two forms of energy produced are light energy and heat energy. Since light bulbs are not 100% efficient, some of the electrical energy input is lost as heat energy.


What does the filament in a light bulb do to the electricity?

The filament in a light bulb forms resistance so that heat can happen. The electricity then converts to light energy and heat energy so that the light will shine.
