We use sodium light in many aspects of life because it provides better visibility in fog or mist in winter or in any case. It is simply moisture and fog resistant.

The light given off by electic discharge through sodium vapor is?
Orange, it is often used in street lighting.
What is the gas used in light bulbs?
Generally, argon or krypton.Argon , neon ,Argon is sometimes used in incandescent lights.Answer:Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury vapor so do mercury vapor lights, sodium vapor lights contain sodium vapor once they are hot, "neon" lights contain neon and a number of other gases depending on the color desired.Argon or nitrogenIn incandescent light bulbs (the regular kind) contain an inert gas, probably Argon. Sometimes there is no gas at all and a vacuum protects the filament.In Florescent bulbs the tubes are filled with low pressure mercury vapor along with an inert gas such as argon, xenon, neon, or krypton.argon
What can salt be other than sodium?
Sodium can be used in the form of Liquid.In Nuclear reactors, where liquid sodium is used as coolant.Sodium can be in the form of vapor or gas (Sodium Vapor lamp). We are using it in street lights.A2 and as for compounds, baking soda, and washing soda; (carbonates); sodium silicate which used to be used as an egg preserver.
What is the uses of sodium stearate?
what is difference beetwin sodium stearate and potassium stearate
What are the uses of sodium lauryl sulfate?
Sodium lauryl sulfate is a surfactant. Almost all the uses of the compound revolve around making detergent out of it.
Who invented the sodium vapor light?
Thomas Edison
Working of sodium-vapor lamp?
It gives yellow light
How many watts does a Sodium Vapor light bulb have?
sixty
Light given off by electric discharge through sodium vapor?
The light given by sodium vapor depends on whether it is a low-pressure or high-pressure lighting system. Low pressure sodium lamps produce a yellow-green light and are less-common today, while high-pressure sodium-halogen produces an orange light. Both types of sodium lighting uses the element sodium, which is heated by a current flow until it becomes luminescent.
What does a sodium vapor light bulb cost?
£20 35w £24 55w
What Light bulb is most people familiar with?
Most people are familiar with the incandescent light bulb which usually uses a tungsten filament in a vacuum to produce light, and the fluorescent light which uses a gas between two electrodes. There are many other light producing devices such as the currently popular light emitting diode (LED), the sodium vapor light (the yellowish one seen along just about every street and highway), the annoying halogen light, and the mercury vapor light, to mention a few.
Why is the street light yellow not white?
They are yellow because they are sodium lamps, using sodium vapor. They are very efficient in terms of visible light output per watt.
The light given off by electic discharge through sodium vapor is?
Orange, it is often used in street lighting.
Which gas is in a ligt bulb?
-- An incandescent light bulb has no gas at all in it. It's a complete vacuum. If any air leaks into it, the filament soon oxidizes and the bulb "burns out". However some incandescent light bulbs are filled with an inert gas, argon. -- Most fluorescent lights have mercury vapor in them. -- A "neon light" has neon in it. -- A sodium street light has sodium vapor in it. -- A "halogen" light has the vapor of one of the halogens in it. I don't know which one. The halogens are chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
How many lumens are in a 400 watt mercury vapor light bulb?
A 400 watt Mercury vapor light bulb produces roughly 23,000 lumens. In comparison to a 400 watt metal haloid and or high-pressure sodium, not as good. Metal haliod and high-pressure sodium produces 30,000 lumens.
What alkali metal is used in street lights?
Sodium (chem symbol = Na) Mercury vapor is also used in street lights. Low pressure sodium vapor street lights are amber/yellow in color, high pressure sodium lights are white and mercury vapor lights glow blueish white.
How the tube light works?
It is a low weight mercury-vapor gas-release light that uses fluorescence to deliver obvious light. An electric current in the gas energizes mercury vapor which creates short-wave bright light that then causes a phosphor covering within the globule to sparkle.
