Which state helps produce light in fluorescent light bulbs?

Mercury vapor gas in fluorescent light bulbs helps to produce ultraviolet light when an electric current passes through it. The ultraviolet light then causes the phosphor coating inside the bulb to glow and produce visible light.


What state helps produce light in fluorescent light?

plasma


Is fluorescent light a plasma?

No, fluorescent light is not a plasma. Fluorescent lights work by using electricity to excite mercury vapor and produce ultraviolet light, which then interacts with a phosphor coating to create visible light. Plasma is a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their electrons, leading to a highly energized gas that can emit light.


What is fluorescent lights?

It is an artificial light that works by using electricity to ionize Mercury into vapor. Because the light produced is more ultraviolet, the inside of the tube is coated with white phosphors to make the light more visible to the human eye. Fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent bulbs, and they are now most commonly in the form of CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs which screw into ordinary incandescent light sockets. Even the traditional fluorescent fixtures are more efficient these days than over 20 years ago, since there are now solid state ballasts which don't use a bulky transformer.


What kind of light does fluorescent light produce?

Main one is light energy. Also some heat is produced


What are Appliances that convert electrical energy to light energy?

There are several kinds of energy conversion, for example: In a fluorescent light bulb, a toaster, and some other devices, it is converted to heat, through a resistance. In certain devices, e.g. a blender, a small motor converts it to motion. In fluorescent light bulbs, atoms are excited, and directly emit light. In a loudspeaker, electricity first causes mechanical vibrations; this in turn is converted into sound.


How many light bulbs are in the Empire State Building?

The Empire State Building contains 3,194,547 light bulbs. so my house has like 55 light bulbs, what the hell. :P lol


Which state of matter forms when a fluorescent light bulb is turned on?

A fluorescent light bulb produces light by exciting the gas inside it, usually mercury vapor or neon. The excited gas atoms emit ultraviolet light, which stimulates a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb to produce visible light. So, when a fluorescent light bulb is turned on, it emits light through a process involving excited gas and phosphor.


What are 3 examples of plasma?

Lightning: A natural plasma phenomenon created by the ionization of air particles during thunderstorms. Fluorescent light bulbs: They contain a gas that is turned into a plasma state to produce light when electricity passes through it. Stars: The sun and other stars are primarily made up of plasma, in which atoms are stripped of their electrons due to high temperatures and pressures.


What gases are used in light bulbs?

Ordinary incandescent light bulbs are filled with an inert (electrically non-conducting) gas such as Nitrogen.Other types are filled with a gas containing low pressure mercury vapor and argon, xenon, neon or krypton.See the Related links for more information.


When a fluorescent light bulb glows what state of matter is it?

it is plasma , gas and liquid


What state of matter forms when fluorescent light bulb is turned on?

When a fluorescent light bulb is turned on, it produces light by generating plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, distinct from solid, liquid, and gas, characterized by its ionized particles that conduct electricity.
