RossA light bulb provides light through emission of photons due to electrical energy, and is not directly related to reflection or refraction. However, when light emitted by the bulb interacts with a mirror, it undergoes reflection, while when it passes through a lens or prism, it undergoes refraction.

What is an example of radiation and reflection together?
-- You walk into the bathroom at night, turn the light on, and admire yourself in the mirror.-- The light bulb radiates light, which goes all over the place. Some of the lightreflects from your face toward the mirror, then reflects back from the mirror toyour eyes, and you "see" your face "in" the mirror.
What are the purposes of the light bulb?
Illumination. There are minority uses as well, for example heating a hamster cage.
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.
Does a coloured light bulb actually produce light of the same colour spectrum?
Yes, a colored light bulb actually produces light within the specific wavelength range of its color. For example, a red light bulb emits light in the red spectrum, while a blue light bulb emits light in the blue spectrum. The color of the light bulb determines the color of the light it emits.
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.
