What else can I help you with?
What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
What type of light contains a filament?
All kinds of incandescent lamp, and all types of light bulb contains filament. But there are several kinds of filament applied each type of light bulb.
What type of spectrum is produced by a filament lamp?
continuous emission
What type of lightbulb glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
An incandescent bulb.
What type of filament will make the light bulb turn on for a longer period of time?
The filament is nothing to do with the light turning on, that is controlled by the switch.
What is the temperature of bulb filament when it is burning?
The temperature of a bulb filament when it is burning can range from 2,000 to 3,000 degrees Celsius (3,600 to 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the type of bulb and the amount of electric current passing through it. This high temperature causes the filament to glow and produce light.
Does the watage of a light bulb affect how long it lasts?
No, the type of bulb and filament will determine life, as well as how many times it is turned off and on. Repetitive on and off cycles will reduce the life of the filament.
How can you tell for sure if a filament type bulb contains xenon or halogen elements?
You could shine white light through it, divide the light that comes out the other side into the full spectrum of colors, see which colors were absorbed by the bulb and are therefore missing from the spectrum, and consult a table to find out what element corresponds to that pattern of color bands.
What type of energy those the light bulb use?
A light bulb typically uses electrical energy to produce light. The electricity flows through a filament or gas within the bulb, generating heat and light as a result of the resistance in the filament or the ionization of the gas.
Which type of light bulb glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
Incandescent light bulbs produce light when a filament made of tungsten wire is heated by an electric current flowing through it. The filament glows and emits light as it reaches high temperatures.
What is the main type of energy transformation that occurs in the filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy (the electric current) is transformed into thermal energy (by heating the filament to incandescence), and this thermal energy creates electromagnetic energy in the form of light.
What stops the filament in a light bulb from Catching Fire?
The inert gas inside the light bulb prevents the filament from catching fire by creating an oxygen-free environment. This inhibits combustion reactions that would ordinarily allow the filament to ignite.
