Ghost803 said:How does the light bulb work exactly? Does the current that does through the tungstern, or whatever material is used, collide with the elections in the resistor and push then up to a higher energy state? And when the electrons naturally fall back down to their ground state, the energy is released in the from of photons?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is made up of tiny particles called photons, which travel in waves at the speed of light.
A lightbulb works by using electricity to heat a thin wire filament inside the bulb, causing it to glow and emit light. This process is known as incandescence.
Direct current (DC) is a type of electrical current that flows in one direction, while alternating current (AC) switches direction periodically. AC is the type of current used in most household appliances, while DC is commonly used in batteries and electronic devices.
Light is produced in a lightbulb through a process called incandescence. When electricity flows through the filament inside the bulb, it heats up and glows, emitting light.
The lifespan of a lightbulb depends on the type and usage. Traditional incandescent bulbs have a lifespan of about 1,000 hours, while LED bulbs can last up to 25,000 hours. The lifespan can also be affected by factors such as voltage, temperature, and vibration.
