What else can I help you with?
What are you feeling when you feel the warmth from a light bulb on you skin?
The warmth you feel from a light bulb is due to the energy it emits in the form of heat. This sensation is caused by the infrared radiation produced by the light bulb, which can make your skin feel warm when in close proximity to the bulb.
Does a light bulb convert electrical energy to both heat and light energy?
Yes. Heat is radiated as infra-red, a longer wavelength than visible light, but otherwise similar. Incandescent light bulbs with a heated filament emit infra-red light as heat, and only a small part of the emission is visible. Other light bulbs using electrical discharges in neon gas (known as fluorescent bulbs) do not produce as much infra-red, and are more efficient in the conversion of electrical energy into light. If you feel a fluorescent tube you will find it is only warm, but DO NOT feel an incandescent bulb or you will burn your hand, its so hot.
Why do we feel warm when we touch the lighted bulbs?
When we touch light bulbs, we feel warm because they produce heat as a byproduct of generating light. The filament inside the bulb heats up due to the flow of electricity, converting some of it into thermal energy. This heat is then transferred to the bulb's surface and can be felt when touched.
What light makes what ever is strikes feel warmer?
Infrared light is responsible for making whatever it strikes feel warmer. This type of light carries energy that can be felt as heat when it is absorbed by objects, including our skin.
When you feel the warmth from a light bulb on your skin it feels?
Warm and comforting due to the heat generated by the bulb's filament.

What are you feeling when you feel the warmth from a light bulb on your skin?
Conduction
When you feel the warmth from a light bulb on your skin it feels?
Warm and comforting due to the heat generated by the bulb's filament.
What energy transfers in a lamp?
In a lamp, electrical energy is transferred into light energy and thermal energy. When the lamp is turned on, the electrical energy from the power source is converted into light energy, which illuminates the surroundings. Additionally, a portion of the electrical energy is also converted into thermal energy, which is why lamps can feel warm to the touch after being on for a while.
What from of energy makes my car feel warm?
That is heat energy.
What are some examples of heat transfer by radiation?
Examples of heat transfer by radiation include the warmth you feel from the sun, the heat emitted by a campfire, and the energy radiated by a light bulb.
Which type of energy is it when we feel heat from the sun?
Radiant energy (light) - the heat you feel is "infra red" radiation. Your eyes can not see this wavelength of light but there are sensors (thermal sensors) in your skin that can feel it.
Does a light bulb heat the air around it by conduction or radiation?
A light bulb heats the air around it through radiation. As the filament heats up and emits light, it also emits infrared radiation that warms up the air in its vicinity. This is why you can feel the warmth when you are near a lit light bulb.
How has the lava lamp impacted society in a negative way?
It makes people feel as if they have no light in their heart only in the room. They have to use it to get self esteem. Their only hope is to plug in the light and waste energy.
