What makes a light bulb glow ?
The filament in most light bulbs is made of tungsten.
The thin wire, or filament, resists the flow of current
through it.
The filament becomes hot and glows brightly when
electricity is passed through the bulb.
The glass bulb is filled with a mixture of inert gas
(usually argon and nitrogen) to prevent the filament
from burning away completely.
Lamp Construction
This lamp consist; simply of a tungsten filament
inside a gas-filled, sealed glass envelop.
Current passing through the high-resistance
filament heats it to incandescence,
producing light.
Gradual evaporation of the filament causes the
familiar blackening of the bulbs and eventual
filament rupture and lamp failure.
