Which question do you want answered?

Which produces more heat?..C and E because they don't waste as much
energy producing visible light.

Which answer is correct?...None. Only C and E are the same. The rest
all waste varying amounts of energy producing visible light.


Bull****.

Where exactly do you think that energy goes, as the light
bounces around and around, until it's not light any more ?

It becomes heat energy. In the room. As long as the shades
were down. You're putting energy in ( as light ), it ain't gonna just
cease to exist. 'Conservation of energy' law and all that.

And it don't stay 'light' for long. Wanna bet ? There's a little
switch on your wall you can use to test the idea. How long does it
take for all that light in the room to cease being light ?
