Which cycle allows a halogen bulb to run hotter than a plain filament lamp?

  • A.The vacuum within the envelope, which prevents oxidation and therefore permits a higher filament temperature to be used
  • B.The halogen regenerative cycle returning tungsten to the filament
  • C.The convection of the gas within the envelope, which carries the heat away and therefore cools the filament in use
  • D.Radiative cooling

Answer: B

Evaporated tungsten combines with the halogen and redeposits on the filament rather than blackening the glass. A vacuum genuinely does prevent oxidation, which makes the last option a real property of the older lamp it replaced. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
