An incandesent bulb has a thin filament ...

An incandesent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current The hot filament emits black-body radiation The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evapo ration of operation due to non-uniform evapo ration of ungsten from the filament If the bulb is powered at constant voltage which of the following statement (s) is (are) true ? .

A

The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform

B

The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time

C

The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up

D

The filament consumes less electrical power toward the ends of the life of the bulb
