What is the science behind light bulbs and their color/ brightness?
I have to do a project over spectral analysis and light bulbs. It asks what causes light bulbs to be different colors and different brightnesses. Please try to be specific and only answer if you know, or post a reliable link to a website that can help. I really appreciate any help I receive with this! Thanks for whoever answers!

Briefly, it has to do with the wavelengths and wave altitudes of light waves emitted by each type of bulb. Different wavelengths are perceived as different colors, while variations in wave altitude are seen as differences in intensity.
