What is the importance of the element Krypton?

Answer 1

Krypton is thus used in some types of photographic flashes used in high speed Photography. Krypton gas is also combined with other gases to make luminous signs that glow with a bright greenish-yellow light.

Krypton (along with xenon) is also used to fill incandescent lamps to reduce filament evaporation and allow higher operating temperatures to be used for the filament.

Krypton has an important role in production and usage of the krypton fluoride laser.The laser has high beam uniformity, short wavelength, and the ability to modify the spot size to track an imploding pellet.

Krypton-83 has application in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for imaging airways. In particular, it may be used to distinguish between hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces containing an airway.

Answer 2

Krypton is important because it is used in certain types of lighting, such as high-powered photographic flash bulbs and some fluorescent lamps. It is also used in lasers and as a filling gas for insulating glass windows. Additionally, krypton is important in nuclear reactors for detecting radiation levels.
