- Electric bulb: It is an electric device that converts electric energy into heat and light energy.
- it is generally made of glass with inert gases filled in it (Nitrogen and argon).
- The filament is made of tungsten which has a very high melting point.
EXPLANATION:
- The closed glass chamber of the electric bulb contains an inactive (inert) gas, Argon.
- The glass chamber can’t be filled with air as the presence of oxygen will cause the filament to burn, i.e. react with oxygen.
- The glass chamber can’t be made vacuum. As in vacuum conditions, the filament will evaporate because of very high temperature, making the bulb unusable.
- The inert gas within the bulb will maintain a particular pressure, preventing the filament from evaporating.
- Nitrogen is also used like argon. Therefore option 2 is correct.
