Energy is destroyed when it passes through an incandescent bulb.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.

This is because incandescent bulbs are less efficient in converting electrical energy into light, with a significant portion of the energy being wasted as heat. In contrast, compact fluorescent bulbs are designed to convert a higher percentage of the electrical energy into visible light, resulting in greater efficiency and less energy usage overall.
