Fluorescent lights contain a low-pressure gas, typically Mercury vapor, which becomes ionized when an electric current passes through it. This ionization creates a plasma state, where free electrons and ions exist. The plasma emits ultraviolet (UV) light when energized, and the inner coating of the bulb, usually made of phosphor, converts this UV light into visible light. Thus, plasma plays a crucial role in the functioning of fluorescent lights.
What else can I help you with?
What are some examples of plasma besides stars?
natural - lightening, the auroraman made - neon and florescent lights
How do you florescent lights produce light?
by making light
Were can you find a fly?
In a cobweb, near florescent/bright lights, and on your food!
Why is Mercury used in florescent lights?
A florescent tube is still a mercury vapour device and needs the mercury to vaporise to have the tube conduct to emit visible light.
Is plasma used in plasma TVs?
Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
What do people use plasma for?
For PLASMA tv and lights
What plasma contain?
Many things contain plasma mostly things in the sky.
A plasma must contain many what?
A Plasma must contain many ions and electrons.
How do plasma T.V.'s use plasma to produce their picture?
== == Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
Where does uv radiation happen?
The sun, arc welding, "black lights" (looking fro fluorescence). [inside florescent lights - but its blocked by the surface of the bulbs.)
Do plasma screens really have plasma?
Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
What are two sources of EMI?
High powered electrical wiring and florescent lights.
