A circuit in a home provides power to a light fixture. The homeowners want to use a compact fluorescent bulb instead of an incandescent bulb. Compact fluorescent bulbs can produce as much light as incandescent bulbs but with less energy. How is this possible?(1 point) Responses Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.

The correct response that explains why compact fluorescent bulbs can produce as much light as incandescent bulbs while using less energy is: Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.

This indicates that incandescent bulbs waste a significant amount of energy in the form of heat rather than using it to produce light. In contrast, compact fluorescent bulbs are designed to be more efficient, converting a larger portion of the energy they consume into visible light rather than heat.
