Which is the inert gas present in flurocent bulbs?

The inert gas present in fluorescent bulbs is typically argon. Argon helps to stabilize the electric arc within the bulb, allowing it to produce light efficiently.


Which non metal is used in fluorescent bulbs in display advertisements?

Phosphor is a non-metal that is commonly used in fluorescent bulbs in displays and advertisements. Phosphor coatings on the interior of the bulb react with the UV light emitted by the gas inside the bulb, producing visible light.


What gas is in fluorescent tube?

The gas in a fluorescent light bulb tube is composed of mercury, along with argon, xenon, krypton or neon. It is important to dispose of the tubes properly after they are used, since mercury can be toxic to people and animals if it is released into the environment.


Why is mercury in fluorescent bulbs?

Mercury is used in fluorescent bulbs as it helps produce ultraviolet light when electricity passes through the bulb. This UV light excites phosphor coating inside the bulb, which then emits visible light. While the amount of mercury used in fluorescent bulbs is small, it is essential for their function and energy efficiency.


Which nonmetal is used in fluorescent bulbs in display advertisements?

The nonmetal used in fluorescent bulbs for display advertisements is mercury. Mercury vapor inside the bulb emits ultraviolet light when electricity is passed through it, which then interacts with the phosphor coating inside the bulb to produce visible light.

When a fluorescent light bulb glows what state of matter is it?

it is plasma , gas and liquid


Is a fluorescent bulb filled with gas at a high pressure?

Yes, a fluorescent bulb is filled with a small amount of mercury vapor and a rare gas (such as argon) at low pressure. When electrical current passes through the gas, it produces ultraviolet light, which then excites the phosphor coating inside the bulb to produce visible light.


Which state of matter forms when a fluorescent light bulb is turned on?

A fluorescent light bulb produces light by exciting the gas inside it, usually mercury vapor or neon. The excited gas atoms emit ultraviolet light, which stimulates a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb to produce visible light. So, when a fluorescent light bulb is turned on, it emits light through a process involving excited gas and phosphor.


How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?

A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.


What is the swirly light bulb called?

The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.


The light-producing element in a fluorescent bulb is the?

The light-producing element in a fluorescent bulb is mercury vapor. When electricity passes through the gas, it emits ultraviolet light that then excites the phosphor coating inside the bulb, causing it to emit visible light.


What does f17 stand for on fluorescent bulb packageing?

F17 on a fluorescent bulb packaging typically indicates the type of bulb and its wattage. In this case, "F17" refers to a T8 fluorescent bulb that operates at 17 watts.


How does a fluorescent bulb convert ultraviolet light into visible light?

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.


Who invented fluorescent light bulb?

EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb


When a fluorescent bulb burns out should you be able to smell the gas?

As long as the tube is intact there is no difference between whether it is burnt out or not. You shouldn't smell anything from inside the tube. Fluorescent bulbs to have a ballast which may emit a smell if it is faulty. In this case you may have a bad ballast and not a bad bulb. If you put in a new bulb and it doesn't work, it is likely the ballast that is bad.


What state of matter forms when fluorescent light bulb is turned on?

When a fluorescent light bulb is turned on, it produces light by generating plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, distinct from solid, liquid, and gas, characterized by its ionized particles that conduct electricity.
