For the filament tocatch fire you need to have oxygen present so depending on the type of light bulb it may be a vacuum inside or have some sort of inert gas inside that is not oxygen.

Why is filament of bulb kept in vacuum?

The filament in a light bulb is kept in a vacuum to prevent oxidation and combustion. In the absence of oxygen, the filament does not burn out quickly and can reach higher temperatures without catching fire. This enables the filament to emit more light and last longer.


What is an electric component that transforms electric energy into heat and light?

An electric component that transforms electric energy into heat and light is an incandescent light bulb. When electricity flows through the bulb's filament, it heats up and produces both light and heat as a result of its resistance to the electrical current.


How is light produced in various sources such as the sun, light bulbs, and fire?

Light is produced in various sources through a process called incandescence. In the sun, light is produced through nuclear fusion reactions. In light bulbs, electricity passes through a filament, heating it up and causing it to emit light. In fire, light is produced through the combustion of fuel, which releases energy in the form of light and heat.


Why can you use friction to turn on light bulbs?

Friction generates heat when two surfaces rub against each other. When this heat is strong enough, it can cause a material to glow, like in light bulbs. The electrical current in the bulb passes through a filament, which generates resistance and heat due to friction, resulting in the filament glowing and emitting light.


What is function of lamp?

The function of a lamp is to provide light in a room or space. It helps illuminate the surroundings, making it easier to see and perform tasks in low-light conditions. Lamps come in various designs and types to suit different purposes and aesthetics.

What happens if there is no light bulb to cover a filament?

Usually, the filament burns briefly, and then is reduced to ash. Try it at home by breaking a light bulb (very, very carefully) and turning on the light. The filament should give of a puff of smoke, maybe fizz a little, and then go out. Have a fire extinguisher/bucket of water ready though.
