Chemistry of the
Light Bulb
By: Phillip Ndowu
Chemistry
O Thomas Edison
invited the light bulb
O The filament of the
bulb is important to
the function
O The thinner the
filament, the more
energy is emitted
Chemistry
O Tungsten sublimes
making is easier for
the filament to burn
out easier
O Scientists tried
different substances
that would last longer
O They also tried to
replace oxygen with
nitrogen and more
argon
Chemistry
O When the argon hits
the wall of the bulb,
it raises the
temperature
O The tighter the atoms
are, the more
sustained the energy
is
