    An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?

    ($A$) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform

    ($B$) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time

    ($C$) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up

    ($D$) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb
