Question

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

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.
