Question

Only a small amount of the energy used in an incandescent light bulb (regular bulbs commonly used in households) is actually converted into light. What happens to the rest of the energy

Answer 1

Answer:

It's converted into heat.

Explanation:

Most of the rest of the energy is converted into heat, as can be verified by touching an incandescent lamp that has been turned on for a while. This happens because the light itself is generated by heating the filament with an electric current (Joule heating) until it glows.
