Well because it is transparent and is the worst coductor of heat .Glass also does not conduct electicity. thereforeplastic cannot be used forlightbulbs because it will burn and no other material is trasparent or see through. So glass is the best material to use for lightbulbs.

What type of glass is used in light bulbs?
Light bulbs typically use borosilicate glass, which is able to withstand high temperatures without expanding or contracting significantly. This type of glass is also resistant to thermal shock and is therefore safe for use in light fixtures.
What materials are light bulbs made of?
Light bulbs are typically made of glass, metal, and a filament made of tungsten.
What materials are light bulbs made out of?
Light bulbs are typically made out of glass, metal, and a filament material such as tungsten.
What normally is made from glass?
Glass is commonly used to make various products such as windows, bottles, jars, drinking glasses, mirrors, and light bulbs. Glass is also used in the construction of buildings, car windshields, and in the production of laboratory equipment.
Why is glass used to make electric bulbs?
Glass is used in light bulbs because it's clear (passes the light through), can withstand the heat generated by the filiment and does not leak air to the inside of the bulb. And, it's cheap and easily formed into the required shape(s)

What kind of light is used in light bulbs?
Light is not used in light bulbs; light is created in light bulbs. From Edison to the invention of solid state devices, light bulbs were mostly incandescent. They made light by running electricity through a tungsten filament inside a glass bulb with the air removed. The filament got very very hot and emitted light waves (photons). The lack of air (oxygen) preserved the filament from burning up. The efficiency was atrocious, but they made light.
What is a light bulbs raw material?
Glass, metal, inert gas.
