It’s even cooler than lightbulbs, though (assuming we’re talking about incandescents) - you send electricity back and forth into a wire that’s just the right length, and (RF) light leaks out without it getting hot!
Most people would use “word”, “half-word”, “quarter-word” etc, but the Anglophiles insist on “tuppit”, “ternary piece”, “span” and “chunk” (that’s 5 bits, or 12 old bits).
