Question
Which of the following statements is not true?a.Incandescent lamps are the most efficientb.Electrical Appliances have become more energy efficientc.A modern LED light is 60 percent more efficient than traditional incandescent lightsd.A LED light lasts up to 5 times longer
Solution
The statement that is not true is: "Incandescent lamps are the most efficient". Incandescent lamps are actually less efficient than other types of lighting such as LED or fluorescent. Most of the energy they use is converted into heat rather than light.
