Answer 3

The answer that best matches the word in italics, which is "compact fluorescent (CF) light bulbs," is "creating light by radiating heat." Compact fluorescent bulbs work by passing an electric current through a gas mixture, which produces ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light then hits a phosphor coating inside the bulb, causing it to emit visible light. This process involves creating light through the radiating heat generated by the electric current passing through the gas mixture.
