What is the deference between incandescent and fluorescent lights?

An incandescent light uses electric current passing through a wire with a high resistance to current flow. That makes the wire very hot and it glows, producing the light. A fluorescent light uses electricity to charge a gas in a tube. The charged gas glows, producing the light. For the same amount of light, more electricity is needed in an incandescent light than in a fluorescent light, but developing and building fluorescent lights required more advanced technology than did incandescent lights.

Explain Why fluorescent light are more efficient than incandescent light?

Fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights because they convert a greater portion of electrical energy into visible light. While incandescent bulbs produce light by heating a filament, which wastes a significant amount of energy as heat, fluorescent bulbs use gas and phosphors to emit light, resulting in less wasted energy. This efficiency allows fluorescent lights to produce more lumens per watt, making them brighter and longer-lasting than incandescent bulbs. As a result, they consume less electricity and reduce overall energy costs.


How long have incandescent light bulbs been around for?

Incandescent light bulbs have been around since the late 19th century, with Thomas Edison famously developing a practical version in 1879. However, earlier prototypes existed, with Sir Humphry Davy creating an electric arc lamp in the early 1800s. Over the years, incandescent bulbs became widely used for residential and commercial lighting until the rise of more energy-efficient alternatives in recent decades.
