It generally means "glowing" - certain elements "fluoresce" (give off a visible light) when hit by electromagnetic radiation, even when the radiation itself is invisible (e.g. UV light). An example is in fluorescent lighting tubes where Mercury vapor is electrified to cause a phosphor coating to fluoresce. A slower process called phosphorescence occurs where glow-in-the-dark stickers absorb light and radiate it back slowly as a greenish glow.

What light bulbs should you buy?
Fluorecent lightbulbs are recommended, as they are more efficient than incandescent lightbulbs. They also help the enviroment.

When did thomas Edison invent the fluorecent bulb lamps?
Thomas Edison did not invent fluorescent bulb lamps; instead, he is best known for developing the practical incandescent light bulb. The first commercial fluorescent lamps were developed in the 1930s by General Electric and others, building on earlier experiments with gas-discharge lamps. Edison's contributions primarily focused on electrical power generation and incandescent lighting.
Which state helps produce light in fluorecent light bulbs?
Fluorescent light bulbs produce light through a process called fluorescence, which occurs when a gas inside the bulb, typically mercury vapor, is energized by electricity. The mercury vapor emits ultraviolet (UV) light when ionized, and this UV light then excites a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb, producing visible light. Therefore, while no specific state is responsible for light production, mercury is the key element used in these bulbs.
How do you find the power consumption of the fluorecent lamp?
Look on the lamp because somewhere on it the power consumption should be printed.AnswerThere is a legal requirement that a lamp's rated powerand rated voltage is shown on the lamp -often, this is printed on the glass envelope. Realise, however, that any variation from the rated voltage will result in a somewhat-larger variation in the rated power. An alternative method, of course, would be to connect a wattmeter into the lamp's circuit. Strictly-speaking, incidentally, power is NOT 'consumed', but merely tells us the rate at which ENERGY is consumed.
