Which material lines the tubes of fluorescent lights and glows when exposed to UV light?
Phosphor.
Is fluorescent light produced by heat?
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.
How does fluorescent work?
Fluorescent lights glow because of an electric discharge in a glass tube that causes mercury atoms to emit ultraviolet light. The inside of the tube is coated with phosphor, which absorbs the ultraviolet light and then re-emits visible light.
What is the energy pathway for an fluorescent source?
Electrical energy- Energy is then absorbed by mercury particles-ultra violet energy-energy absorbed by phosphor particles-visible light energy. This is what I found in my science textbook hopefully it helps.Thumbs up if it did.
What are the energy transformations of a fluorescent light bulb?
When a fluorescent lamp is turned on, the electricity excites the mercury vapor inside the tube. UV light is produced. The UV light excites the phosphor coating. The phosphorus atoms relax by releasing a visible light. Since the light emitted by the phosphorus atoms is of a spread spectrum (the frequency is not fixed), the light appears whitish. To summarize, electricity is turned into light.
Function of the phosphor in fluorescent?
A phosphor become luminescent in some conditions (in fluorescent lights under electrical discharge); a phosphor is not the chemical element phosphorus.
What is the maim function phosphor?
A phosphor become luminescent in some conditions (in fluorescent lights under electrical discharge); a phosphor is not the chemical element phosphorus.
What does the television phosphor do?
A phosphor become luminescent in some conditions (as in fluorescent lights under electrical discharge); a phosphoris not the chemical element phosphorus.
Which material lines the tubes of fluorescent lights and glows when exposed to UV light?
Phosphor.
Exactly how well do LED lightbulbs work?
They are made with fluorescent tubes, bent and compacted to the size of a regular lightbulb. The inside of the tubes is filled with fluorescent gas and phosphor. Electricity passes into the tube and interacts with the gas to make ultraviolet rays and theseinteract with the phosphor and cause it to glow.
What is a phosphor blend?
A mixture of two or more different phosphor chemicals to produce a selected perceived color or color temperature, that cannot be produced by a single phosphor chemical. Such blends may be used on the face of CRTs, in fluorescent lamps, in special LEDs, etc.
Is fluorescent light produced by heat?
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.
Electromagnetic radiation causes certain substanced to fluoresce?
Yes. UV radiation causes phosphor to fluoresce in fluorescent light bulbs.
What does Phosphorous mean?
Phosphorous is a non-metallic chemical element with the symbol P and the atomic number 15.
How does fluorescent work?
Fluorescent lights glow because of an electric discharge in a glass tube that causes mercury atoms to emit ultraviolet light. The inside of the tube is coated with phosphor, which absorbs the ultraviolet light and then re-emits visible light.
What are six main component of a fluorescent lamp tube light?
six main component of fluorescent tube light
What is the function of the capacitor in the fluorescent lamp?
A capacitor is placed across the supply of a fluorescent lamp circuit to correct the power factor
