Light in fluorescent bulbs occurs when electricity excites the Mercury vapor inside the tubular glass bulb.
Phosphors
light bulb
The flourescent light bulb was invented in 1827.
yes he did
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.

Not in the way that an incandescent bulb does. A fluorescent lamp uses electricity to excite the particles of mercury vapor in the tube. This excited gas causes a phosphor to glow.
No...
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
A fluorescent bulb
fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
actually, the rare-earth phosphors lining the tube.
Perhaps you are asking about fluorescent lamp. This is an electrical device that uses a fluorescent bulb to give off light. The bulb is a recent invention designed to give energy savings in the residential area. The fluorescent bulb used to be used exclusively in industrial applications, but the new bulb is small and compact enough to be used in a home lamp.
The brightest compact fluorescent bulb is of over 100 lumens or higher outputs at higher drive currents.
The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
I need to buy another fluorescent light bulb at the hardware store
In a fluorescent light bulb there is usually a drop of mercury. That mercury vaporizes as the bulb warms up and it becomes gaseous, enhancing the electron interaction through the bulb, making it brighter.
