When something flows, it typically generates friction which can cause it to heat up. As the material heats up, it can reach a temperature where it begins to glow, emitting light due to the high energy levels of the particles. This phenomenon is commonly observed in processes like heating of metal or high-speed friction.

Why tungsten glows?

tungsten is a poor conductor of electricity,tungsten glows when electrical energy from the energy source is flowing through the conductor of electricity and when electrical energy reach the metal filament(tungsten) the tungsten gets electrical energy and produce heat when it became white-hot and the tungsten glows the glows is called light.

What causes a wire to get hot?

A wire gets hot when an electric current flows through it, causing resistance in the wire which generates heat.


Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does?

The heating element of an electric heater is a "resistor", the cord which conducts the electricity is not. The resistance of the element of an electric heater is very high. As current flows through the heating element, it becomes red hot and glows. On the other hand, the resistance of the cord is low. It does not become red hot when current flows through it.

What is the hypothesis to how does a light bulb work?

When a current is passed through a thin wire filament it gets hot. Insulate the filament in a glass envelope with no air, and the filament glows brightly.
