Are neon lights similar to fluorescent lights except that the electron and gas collisions give off visible light?
Yes.
What does fluorescent?
Fluorescent means something is glowing, usually with visible light. Fluorescent means giving off visible (or invisible) radiation as a result of absorbing shorter wavelength radiation.
Does a fluorescent bulb specificaly phosphorus reflects ultraviolet radiation.?
There is no phosphorus in a fluorescent lamp, the coating is a compound called phosphor.phosphorus is an element that burns.phosphor is a compound that when excited by an electron beam, UV light, or x-rays glows in visible light.A fluorescent lamp is a mercury vapor UV (aka black light) lamp with a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp tube to turn the invisible UV light to visible light.
Is einsteinium fluorescent?
Einsteinium produces a visible glow.
What is a fluorescent uranium salt?
A salt which become fluorescent when is irradiated with UV radiations from a UV lamp.
What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent tube does that.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
fluorescent
What gives off visible light under an ultraviolet light?
== Fluorescence== Fluorescent objects emit visible light when stimulated by ultraviolet light.
How do fluorescent bulbs work?
A fluorescent lamp generates light from collisions in a hot gas ('plasma') of free accelerated electrons with atoms- typically mercury - in which electrons are bumped up to higher energy levels and then fall back while emitting at two UV emission lines (254 nm and 185 nm). The thus created UV radiation is then converted into visible light by UV excitation of a fluorescent coating on the glass envelope of the lamp. The chemical composition of this coating is selected to emit in a desired spectrum.
What is The ability of certain matter to absorb visible light?
Fluorescence
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
Fluorescent lamp low pressure mercury vapour?
A fluorescent lamp refers to a low pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence in order to produce visible light. It is also called a fluorescent tube.
