Question

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?

A. Fluorescent lamps are more efficient than incandescent lamps.
B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.
C. Fluorescent lamps dissipate more energy as light instead of heat than incandescent lamps.
D. Fluorescent lamps produce light with less glare than incandescent lamps.

Answer 1

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "C. Fluorescent lamps dissipate more energy as light instead of heat than incandescent lamps." This is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps.

Answer 2

Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Step-by-step explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.
