Mercury vapour contained in an evacuated glass bulb.
Vapour warmed.
High voltage applied to electrodes inside lamp.
Vapour conducts and allows current flow, excitation causes vapour to glow brightly.
Little or no resistance, so requires a ballast in line.

What are thoses lines on planet Mercury?

The lines are from Mercury because Mercury has lines which are from Mercury which has lines on it because it is Mercury. The lines are Mercury lines because it is Mercury, and since it is Mercury, it has lines from Mercury because it is Mercury totally. So, Mercury has lines from Mercury since being Mercury from Mercury lines. WHAT!


What happens if you use a mercury source instead of sodium vapour lamp in diffraction grating experiment?

sodium vapour lamps produce much higher light output (about 90 lumens/watt) they cannot be used in lighting applications where colour-rendering property is very crucial. This is because most of the light emitted from a sodium vapour lamp is concentrated in the yellow part of the visible spectrum (around 580-590 nm) On the other hand, a mercury vapour lamp is quite suitable for lighting applications. This is because, the mercury vapour lamp can feed almost the entire visible region (380-780 nm) of the human visual system.


What are examples of atomic absorption spectroscopy?

When white light from mercury vapour lamp is passed through sodium vapour then we have as outcome a continuous spectrum of colours with two black lines in the yellow-orange region. These two lines stand for the absorption of 5890 A and 5896 A lines of sodium atom Another example is Fraunhofer lines seen in the continuous spectrum got from sun. These lines are due to absorption of characteristic frequencies of metals present in the chromosphere of the sun


Can newton's rings exp done by mercury vapour lamp?

Mercury vapour gives out several colours of different wavelength the rings formed with different colours would get overlapped and so chaotic image will be there. Therefore, it will require that you use light filters, yellow, green and blue for the different spectral lines, then you get monochromatic light and not a chaotic image at all.


What is the emission spectrum of mercury?

because the emission wavelengths of mercury are very precisely known.


If you replace mercury light with sodium vapour lamp in spectrometer experiment what colors do you observe in the spectrum?

If you replace a mercury light with a sodium vapor lamp in a spectrometer experiment, you would observe only a few specific colors in the spectrum. These colors would correspond to the characteristic emission lines of sodium, such as the bright yellow spectral lines at 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm. Sodium vapor lamps emit light predominantly in the yellow region of the spectrum.
