How is a light bulb related to radiation?
A. The light emitted by a light bulb is a form of radiation that occurs when the filament heats up and its thermal emission gains enough energy to move into the visible spectrum.
B. Light bulbs do not have anything to do with radiation.
C. As light is emitted from the filament, the energy in the metal is replaced as lightbulbs absorb background radiation. This prevents the filament from burning out quickly but the radiation cannot be used as power so electricity is still required for the lightbulb to work.
D. A light bulb emits radiation when its filament is burned out and can longer emit light. This makes it important to remove dead lightbulbs as soon as they wear out.
