A light bulb works by passing electricity through a long, thin piece of metal that is called a filament. The electricity heats up the filament much like an electric stove heats up its elements. The heat, through black body radiation, causes the filament to emit light. But, the heat also stretches and thus weakens the filament. Over time the weakening will break the filament along the heated portion and this is called "burning out" in common language.
What else can I help you with?
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 will happen to the second light bulb if the first light bulb burns out?
the second bulb become weak because there's not a lot of energy being transformed into bulb 2
What happens when a light bulb give it last glimmer?
When a light bulb gives its last glimmer, it means that the filament inside the bulb has burned out. This results in the light bulb no longer being able to produce light. When this happens, the bulb needs to be replaced with a new one.
What happens to the metal filament of a light bulb after it blows?
After a light bulb blows, the metal filament usually breaks due to the heat and stress it endured during operation. The broken pieces may remain inside the bulb or fall to the bottom, depending on how it fails.
What happens when a particle goes through a light bulb?
When a particle passes through a light bulb, it interacts with the atoms in the filament of the bulb. This interaction can cause the particle to lose energy, which results in the emission of light. The emitted light is what we perceive as the light produced by the light bulb.
What happens when you lick a light bulb?
Licking a light bulb can result in an electric shock and a burning sensation on the tongue. It is not safe to lick a light bulb as it can lead to injury or harm.
What happens in a burning light bulb?
In a burning light bulb, electricity flows through a filament, which heats up due to resistance and emits light. The filament becomes white hot and glows, illuminating the surroundings.
Where is the longest burning light bulb?
Livermore's Conntenental Light Bulb
How long has the longest burning light bulb been burning?

Why does my light bulb keep burning out so quickly?
Your light bulb may be burning out quickly due to several reasons, such as using a higher wattage bulb than recommended, poor quality bulbs, frequent on/off cycling, or electrical issues in your home.
What happens to electrical energy as a light bulb light?
its being transferred
