EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.
Which state helps produce light in fluorescent lightbulbs?
A fluorescent light starter is a small device that helps initiate the flow of electricity in a fluorescent light fixture. It contains a small gas discharge tube that helps create the initial spark needed to ionize the gas inside the fluorescent tube. This ionization process allows the electric current to flow through the tube, causing the fluorescent coating to emit light. In summary, the purpose of a fluorescent light starter is to kickstart the flow of electricity in a fluorescent light fixture, enabling it to produce light efficiently.

Yes that's true fluorescent bulbs are better because it usess 75% less energy and works longer than a incandescent light bulb. Yes...and no. It is true that power usage decreases with fluorescent balb usage. However, one must take into account that they pollute more (i.e. mercury and other heavy metals).
A fluorescent bulb contains a gas that emits ultraviolet light when electricity passes through it. The inner coating of the bulb is made of phosphor, which absorbs the ultraviolet light and re-emits it as visible light. This process is known as fluorescence.
Fluorescent light bulbs use phosphors to convert ultraviolet light into visible light.
No it does not
The purpose of a fluorescent light ballast is to regulate the electrical current flowing through the fluorescent light tubes. It provides the initial surge of electricity needed to start the light and then regulates the current to keep the light glowing steadily. The ballast also helps prevent flickering and ensures the longevity of the fluorescent tubes.
Compact fluorescent lights are smaller versions of traditional fluorescent light bulbs that are designed to fit into standard light fixtures. They are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent light globes typically refer to the larger, tube-shaped fluorescent bulbs that are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
Fluorescent lights are not helpful in preserving natural resources. It is an artificial light made from products using resources from the earth.
