Oxidation of the filament in a light bulb is prevented by the introduction of
Answer Details
Oxidation is the process of losing electrons, and in a light bulb, the filament gets extremely hot and can react with the oxygen in the air, which can cause the filament to deteriorate and burn out. To prevent this oxidation of the filament, an inert gas is introduced into the bulb, which does not react with the filament even at high temperatures. Of the options given, argon is an inert gas and is commonly used to prevent oxidation of the filament in a light bulb. Therefore, the correct answer is option C - argon.
