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 ? .

Options

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 towards the end of the life of the bulb.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of the tungsten filament in an incandescent bulb when it is powered at a constant voltage. We will evaluate the statements provided in the question one by one.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Filament Behavior**:
- The tungsten filament is heated to high temperatures when electric current passes through it, emitting black-body radiation.
- Over time, the filament experiences non-uniform evaporation of tungsten, leading to its eventual breakage.
