  • Krypton light has a large number of spectral lines, and krypton's high light output in plasmas allows it to play an important role in many high-powered gas lasers.
  • Krypton is used commercially as a low-pressure filling gas for fluorescent lights. It is also used in certain photographic flash lamps for high-speed Photography. Radioactive krypton was used to estimate Soviet nuclear production.
  • The gas is a product of all nuclear reactors, so the Russian share was found by subtracting the amount that comes from Western reactors from the total in the air.

A colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, krypton occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere. It is isolated by fractionally distilling liquified air, and is often used with other rare gases in fluorescent lamps. Like most of the other rare gases, the main commercial use of Krypton is in a variety of light bulb applications including fluorescent, incandescent, gas discharge, gas glow, flash tube and laser lamps. Its bright and nearly white light output in high temperature plasma makes it valuable for photography and "neon" sign applications.

Krypton is used as a gas for certain flourescent lighting such as photography flash bulbs and as a low level radiation source.

What are characteristics and uses of krypton?

Krypton is a noble gas and it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Looking at a jar of krypton would be like looking at a jar of air. It is used in lasers,bright electrical lamps,and bright light such as photographic flash.


Are there common isotopes for krypton and what are their uses?

Isotopes of krypton are: Kr-78, Kr-80 to Kr-84, Kr-86. Kr-83 was used in magnetic resonance imaging.


What are the other uses of krypton?

Krypton, like the other noble gases, can be used in lighting and photography. Krypton light has a large number of spectral lines, and krypton's high light output in plazmas allows it to play an important role in many high-powered gas lasers, which pick out one of the many spectral lines to amplify. There is also a specific krypton fluoride lasers.


Are there any health environmental or medical uses effects of krypton?

There are a number of health, environmental and medical uses and effects of krypton. It is part of the atmosphere which serves the environment. However, excessive inhalation can cause serious health effects and possible death among other effects.


What are common uses of krypton?

Krypton is used to fill electric lamp bulbs which are filled with a mixture of krypton and argon, and for various electronic devices. Krypton is also used in photographic projection lamps, in very high-powered electric arc lights used at airports and in some strobo-lamps, because it has an extremely fast respons to an electric current.
