In a 60 watt light bulb how much energy is converted into light?

Roughly 90% of all incandescent bulbs energy is converted to heat. Another portion is given off in non visible light. The rest helps you read. High Efficency bulbs provide roughlythe same levels of visible light using 17 watts. They have other serious issues, including Mercury inside the bulb and overall shorter lives, but use less power.

How much of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy?
About 2 %.
In a 60 watt light bulb how much energy is converted into heat?
What are the uses of Heat energy
Why do you think a light bulb feels warm?
A light bulb is designed to take electrical energy and radiate it as electromagnetic energy.It would be nice of all of that energy came out in the form of light, but that has never been accomplished yet. An incandescent light bulb ... the original kind ... radiates much more heatenergy than light energy. In other words, an incandescent light bulb works much more efficientlyas a heater than it does as a source of light.
How much energy will a 100w light bulb convert to light and heat if it is left burning for 1hour?
Power = Energy/time 100W=Energy/360 Seconds Energy = 100/360 Energy ≈ 0.27 Joules
How much work does a 75 watt bulb do?
In the sense of 'work' as force moving through a distance, a light bulb does none of that. But in the sense that mechanical work is equivalent to energy in other realms, the 75-watt light bulb consumes 75 joules of electrical energy every second, and radiates 75 joules per second of energy in the form of light and heat.

What happen to an electric current after it passes through each bulb?
There is a piece of filament in every light bulb, which has so much friction that when the electric current passes through it, heat energy is produced. This heat energy is then converted to light energy.
Different color light bulb affect how much energy it has?
No, Colored light bulbs holds the same amount of energy a regular light bulb holds.
What is the Electrical power for a lightbulb?
The power rating for a light bulb (like "40 W") tells how much electrical power the light bulb uses. All of the power used by the bulb is either converted into light or heat. In an incandescent bulb, most of the energy becomes heat. In a fluorescent bulb, more of it becomes light.
What energy is wasted from a lamp?
that is dependant on the wattage of the bulb, the wattage 40W, 60W, 100W, is the rated power that a bulb will use. 1kW is equal to 1000W 1kWh is equal to 1000W per hour. kW stands for kilo watt I hope that helps
How much energy does a normal light-bulb make in comparison to a colored one?
They are the same light bulb, so they are the same. The colored bulb has coloring applies on its outside surface. They do not make energy, they use energy.

How much energy do you save per hour if you replace a 60 W light bulb with a 55 W light bulb?
18,000 J
How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb use off?
A lot
Why is an incadescent bulb a very inefficient light source?
An incandescent light bulb is very inefficient light source because of the amount of heat energy wasted when it is energized.
Why does energy saver give more light than electric bulb of same watt?
Both bulbs output the same amount of energy. The difference is in how much of that energy is output as heat vs the energy output as light. In a standard incandescent light bulb about 10% of the energy is output as light while the other 90% is output as heat. This makes the bulb only 10% efficient. For a florescent bulb the output of light is about 50% and the other 50% is output in heat. This means that a fluorescent bulb outputs five times as much light for the same wattage as a standard incandescent bulb, hence you can get the equivalent of 100 watts of light output for only 20 watts of electricity.
