  1. electric-light bulb

    An electric light bulb is a device that produces light from electricity. It consists of a glass enclosure containing a filament or gases, which, when an electric current passes through it, gets heated and emits light as a result. This process is known as incandescence. The bulb is designed to provide light through controlled resistive heating, often being used as a component in lighting fixtures called lamps. The invention of the electric light bulb significantly contributed to the second industrial revolution, changing the way people live and work.
