ViviTo make a light bulb, a thin filament is suspended in a glass bulb filled with an inert gas. The bulb is then sealed, creating a vacuum or low-pressure environment to prevent the filament from oxidizing and burning out quickly. When electricity passes through the filament, it heats up and produces light.

What are some of the components in a light bulb?
A light bulb typically consists of a filament, which produces the light when electricity passes through it, and a glass bulb enclosing the filament to protect it from damage and to contain the inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen) that helps prevent the filament from burning. The bulb also has a base that connects the light bulb to the electrical circuit.
What will happen on lighting a bulb during day?
If you light a bulb during the day, it will still produce light, but it will be less noticeable compared to when it is dark. The brightness of the bulb will be reduced due to the natural light from the sun, making it harder to distinguish the bulb's light during daylight hours.
Can a bulb light if electricity doesn't get to the bulb?
No, a light bulb will not light up if electricity does not reach it. Electricity is required to flow through the filament in the bulb to generate light. If there is no electrical current, the bulb will not illuminate.
Can oranges light a light bulb?
No, oranges cannot light a light bulb because they do not produce enough electricity or energy to generate light in a light bulb. Oranges do not have the capacity to function as a power source for a light bulb.
What is the name for a regular light bulb?
An incandescent light bulb.
