Why does an incandescent light bulb grow dimmer with use?
An incandescent light bulb is a type of light bulb in which the filament is enclosed in air tight glass that avoids oxidation of the filament. When the filament is heated then the bulb glows. Hence when we use this bulb for a long time its brightness is dimmed. Because when the bulb glows some materials of the filament which gets burned out at high temperatures and they fall on the surface of the bulb resulting in black ness of the surface of the glass hence there by it reduces the brightness of the bulb. Also when the material falls of the filament made of tungsten gets weaker and the efficiency is reduced.
If your doubt is cleared please give an upvote it means a lot. Its a humble request to you.
1. A fluorescent light bulb can replace an incandescent light bulb but it is more expensive to buy. 42W fluorescent bulb is considered to be equivalent to 150W incandescent bulb. The fluorescent light bulb cost 5$ while the incandescent one cost 1$. Price of electricity is 10c/kwh. Does it pay to replace? 2. For a gasification project, 50,000 tons of coal per day will be used to produce 50 million cft/day. What is the efficiency of the process? 3. Assume...
Compare the light emitted by the gas tubes with the light elitted by incandescent light bulb.
If a 100-watt incandescent light bulb puts out 95-watts of heat, what is the efficiency of the bulb? (this is approximately how efficient incandescent light bulbs are!)
Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure (absolute pressure) when the bulb has a temperature of 19.3°C. (Enter your answers to at least four significant figures.)
A 60W incandescent light bulb costs $0.25 and lasts 1 year. A compact fluorescent light (CFL) capable of producing the same amount of light costs $2, consumes 13W, and lasts 8 years. Assume electricity costs $0.10/kWh, the bulbs are operated for 5 hrs/day, and all money spent is taken out of a saving account earning 2% interest. (a) What is the net present cost associated with the incandescent bulb? The CFL? (b) The carbon emissions rate for Duke-Progress Energy is...
In room at 20°C, an incandescent light bulb is using 60 W of electric power. The rate of entropy generated by the light bulb is most closely equal to:
Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0 °C. Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average hot temperature is 65.0 °C Number Pa The actual final pressure of the light bulb will be different than calculated above because the glass bulb will expand. What will the final actual gauge pressure be, taking this...
