Image 1 Caption: The compounded helix structure (called a coiled coil) of the tungsten (symbol W, Z=74) filament of a 200-watt incandescent light bulb.
Features:
Most of the output energy comes
out in the
infrared band (fiducial range 0.7 μm -- 0.1 cm)
and dissipates
into heat energy
in the surroundings
(i.e., into waste heat).
Explication:
R = [(2/9)**(1/3)]*(L/a)**(1/3) = (0.6057 ...)(L/a)**(1/3) .
