Question

Select the correct statement from the following:
Out of the total energy given to an incandescent lamp:

• A. One half is converted into light energy and the other half to heat energy.
• B. Most of it is converted to heat energy.
• C. Most of it is converted to light energy.
• D. The total energy is converted to mechanical energy.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Most of it is converted to heat energy.

When an incandescent lamp is on it produces heat and that is why when we go near to any incandescent lamp we feel warm. So the energy which is given to an incandescent lamp is mostly converted to heat energy.
