Because the filament is extremely hot
The term "incandescent" refers to the method by which an incandescent light bulb produces light. In this type of bulb, electricity is passed through a filament, causing it to heat up and emit light. The word "incandescent" itself means emitting light as a result of being heated.
The type of light you emit is called incandescent light, and the term for the heat emitted along with it is called infrared radiation.
Objects that emit light are usually referred to as incandescent.
An incandescent gas emits a continuous spectrum of light, encompassing a wide range of frequencies. The specific frequencies emitted depend on the composition and temperature of the gas.
No, incandescent light bulbs do not emit electrons by thermionic emission. Instead, they produce light by heating a filament to such a high temperature that it emits visible light due to incandescence. Thermionic emission typically refers to the emission of electrons from a heated cathode in vacuum tubes or electron guns.
Yes, light in an incandescent bulb is a form of electromagnetic radiation, not matter. The light is produced by the heating of a tungsten filament in the bulb, causing it to emit visible light.

Incandescent floor lamps emit a lower ray of light, therefore you won't get as bright a light shine. A flourescnet light is much brighter. It really depends on where you will put the lamp.

Incandescent light bulbs do not emit much Ultraviolet light. Strip lights and compact fluorescent low energy light bulbs do. The whiteners added to white fabrics react to UV light and glow due to fluorescence.
They're hot (above about 800 degrees Kelvin).
When they exit their exited state. When an atom is bombarded by photons, it will often times absorb the photon. A photon is a unit of energy, so this energy is added to the atom, "extiting" it. However, atoms may only remain in ths excited state for a short period of time, and will eventually release the photon, reemiting it as light, and then the atom will return to its normal state.
They emit light and the use electricity. Apart from that, they have little in common, the way they work is completely different.
