    Approximately how many watts are needed by a standard incandescent light bulb to produce the same amount of light as a 20 watt compact fluorescent light bulb?

    • 40 Watts

    • 45 Watts

    • 65 Watts

    • 75 Watts

    Correct Answer
    A. 75 Watts
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 75 Watts because a standard incandescent light bulb requires more wattage to produce the same amount of light as a compact fluorescent light bulb. Incandescent bulbs are less efficient and convert more energy into heat rather than light, so they require a higher wattage to produce the same level of brightness.
