What is the difference between white fluorescent lights and yellow ones?

Florescent bulbs are environmental-friendly. Yellow bulbs use more electricity, but their lighting is generally better. Most florescent bulbs take at least a full minute to reach their full lighting, therefore conserving energy when you don't need full lighting. Florescent bulbs are environmental-friendly.

What is the difference between gold and pirate?
Gold is an element with a pleasant yellow colour. Pyrites are a metallic sulphide, often yellow or golden coloured. And sometimes mistaken for gold. But gold is malleable, whereas pyrites is hard to scratch.
What is the difference between green and kelly green?
"Green" is an umbrella term for all shades of green. "Kelly Green" is a specific shade of green with a slight yellow undertone.
A neon light is more similar to an incandescent light or a fluorescent light explain how you know?
A neon light is much more similar to a fluorescent light. I know because I have a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, but I suspect you mean "justify your answer," so here goes. In a gas-discharge light (a neon light), a gas is ionized by an electric potential. Free electrons are then accelerated through the ionized gas. This causes the ions to transition into an excited electronic state. When the ion decays back to the ground state, energy of characteristic frequencies is emitted; the dominant frequencies depend on the gas, the voltage, and the pressure. This is why neon lights are orange-red: the dominant characteristic visible frequencies for neon gas are in the orange-red portion of the spectrum. (If you see a "neon" light that isn't orange-red, it's probably not really using neon gas.) A fluorescent light is exactly the same, except that the inside of the tube is coated with a fluorescent material. It absorbs the (high frequency) energy emitted by the gas discharge itself, and emits energy at a lower frequency (characteristic of the specific material). The gas in fluorescent lights is usually low-pressure mercury vapor, whose dominant emisison frequencies are in the ultraviolet. This is absorbed by the phosphor in the tube and re-emitted as a lower frequency (in the visible spectrum). Most fluorescent lights have a mixture of phosphors so that the emitted light appears "white" because it's actually a mix of different colors that kind of "average out" to white (this is like how the red, green, and blue phosphors in a CRT "blend" to appear white). To confuse matters even further, a lot of modern "neon" lights are actually just fluorescent lights with a colored dye or sleeve applied to the tube (if the tube, when off, appears white, colored, or "cloudy", it's probably a fluorescent light instead; if it's clear and looks empty, then it's pure gas-discharge). This allows for the production of "neon" lights of any color desired and also allows different sections of the tube to have different colors. An incandescent light glows because it's hot ("black body" radiation or "cavity" radiation). There's no characteristic frequency, though there is an emissions maximum which varies depending on temperature. If it's relatively cool ("red hot" is relatively cool as used here), it will appear a dull red; as it gets hotter it turns bright red, then orange, then yellow, then white, and ultimately starts to appear to have a bluish tinge as the emissions maximum shifts to shorter and shorter wavelengths.
What is the difference between mixing colored lights and mixing pigments?
biggest difference is that in light- the primary colors are red blue and green. Whereas in paint pigments its red blue and yellow
What is the difference between a black and a yellow hornet?
The difference is that the black on is more powerful then the yellow.
What is neon used for science?
Neon is a noble gas. It is stable and normally doesn't react, and its main use is for Neon lights. It gives of a fluorescent green yellow color.

What is the difference between the queen bee and the guard bee?
The difference between the queen bee and a worker bee is if u look in between their eyes, it should have a black or yellow nose between their eyes. If it is yellow its and guard bee if it is yellow its a queen bee.
