they cant use air cuz its 2 heavy and dence but haluum a thiner verson of air and in neon lights u need it 2 light up
helium is used for excitation of neon atoms in helium neon laser..
yes
Xenon and neon are used in lighting. Helium-3 is used in fusion. Helium-4 is used in balloons (to make them float in the air). Argon is used in fluorescent bulbs and tubes. Helium and argon are also sometimes used in chemical reactions (laser ablation, laser epitaxy, etc.) where a steady stream of gas is needed to carry products, but not react with them. Helium and neon are also used in lasers.
HeNe laser is used to determine the concentration of a fluid , its application is widely used in the engineering field, esp by chemical engineers. In a CSTR reaction, I myself used the HeNe laser to determine the concentration of the effluent reactants with the help of a detector. with the use of absorbency equations and little bit of math u can determine the concentration of your sample/reactants...etc.
because of gas in active center Neon gas worked as Active Center for He-Ne laser.to accelerate the Ne atoms very high and efficient Pumping is required. Which can only be given by Electric Discharge Pumping.
No, helium is not used in neon signs. Neon signs are filled with neon gas, which produces the iconic red glow when an electric current is passed through it. Helium is a colorless and odorless gas often used for filling balloons and as a coolant in some applications.
Optical pumping is not efficient for helium-neon lasers because the energy levels involved in population inversion for the laser transition are insensitive to optical pumping. The pumping process does not efficiently promote electrons to the necessary excited state, limiting its effectiveness for helium-neon lasers.
For power of cource
Gas,solid state,diode The first laser was a solid state laser. Solid state refers to any solid material like a glass rod. Diode lasers are very common because they are used to read compact disks and digital video disks in computers, CD players, and DVD players. Before diode lasers, the most common type of laser may have been the helium-neon laser, in which the active medium is a combination of the two gasses helium and neon.
-Red and Orange Neon Lights-Cheap Lasers (with Helium, Yttrium, Aluminium, and Iron)-Vaccum Tubes-High-Voltage Tubes-Television Tubes-Liquid Helium preserverit is used in neon discharge lamps and neon signs.
For each gas is necessary a long answer; it is impossible to explain all in the Wiki Answers space, please read introductory manuals of inorganic/organic chemistry or search for each gas on Google or Wikipedia.
Neon is used to make neon signs. Neon and helium are used to make gas lasers. Neon is used in lightning arrestors, television tubes, high-voltage indicators, and wave meter tubes. Liquid neon is used as a cryogenic refrigerant, as it has over 40 times the refrigerating capacity per unit volume than liquid helium and over three times that of liquid hydrogen.
