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 part of an image intensification tube converts the X-ray image into a visible image?

Input Phosphor. The x-ray image intensifier converts the transmitted x rays into a brightened, visible light image. Within an image intensifier, the input phosphor converts the x-ray photons to light photons, which are then converted to photoelectrons within the photocathode. The electrons are accelerated and focused by a series of electrodes striking the output phosphor, which converts the accelerated electrons into light photons that may be captured by various imaging devices.

Why light emitted by a bulb is yellowish in colour but from a fluroscent tube is white?

You are seeing the spectrum of the metal used in a light bulb. In a florescent tube you are seeing ultraviolet light being transformed into visible light by the internal phosphor coating.


Can you see a 200 micron particle?

A 20 micron particle is not visible with the naked eye. The smallest particle visible to the naked eye is 40 microns. To give you some perspective, a piece of hair's width can range from 40 to 120 microns.
