Answer:

When electric current passes through the tungsten filament, it gets heated up and starts to glow at a temperature around 2500 degree Celsius. If we do not fill any gas, at vacuum condition, the filament will evaporate due to high temperature. To protect the filament from damage, we are filling the bulb with inert gas.
