Question

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Energy that is "wasted," does not disappear. Instead, it is transferred to its surroundings and spreads out so much that it becomes difficult to do anything useful with it. Incandescent light bulbs are very inefficient in energy transfer. Energy-saving lightbulbs, such as fluorescent bulbs transfer a greater proportion of electrical energy as light energy. In fluorescent bulbs what kind of energy is "wasted" in the energy transfer from electricity to light?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the energy is transferred to the surroundings as thermal energy and light . most of energy is transferred as thermal energy which is not useful and only some of the energy is transferred as light

Answer 2

Answer:

heat

Explanation:

as we light up the bulb it gives us light energy

but when we touch it we feel that it is hot (heat energy)

the heat energy given of is not for our use and goes to waste
