This is physics because the hammer has a greater force and weighs more than the lightbulb. When the hammer strikes the lightbulb it explodes because the lightbulb has no where to put the hammers energy.
When the makes contact with the lightbulb, the glass is not strong enough to withstand the much much larger force of the hammer, causing it to break. This is part of the transfer of energy, as well as the directions the glass shoots out at.
When glass it hit by a force it spreads out the impact usually causing that piece of glass to completely shatter. In this example, the hammer barely hits the end of the bulb but the whole bulb breaks almost instantly. This shows a shockwave in action.
Even though the hammer barely hits the lightbulb the force is spread through the lightbulb causing cracks to cover the whole surface. This means that the lightbulb shatters. Since The glass is much more fragile than the metal base of the bulb the cracks only affect the glass and the metal doesnt break.
