Wolfram lamp
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-012712
A type of incandescent lamp that uses a tungsten filament, also known as wolfram, heated to high temperatures by an electric current to produce light. These lamps emit a continuous spectrum of radiation, including visible and infrared light. They are commonly used as light sources in spectroscopy and microscopy.
