When a common fluorescent lamp is on the mercury vapor inside is actually in a which state?

When a common fluorescent lamp is on, the mercury vapor inside is in an excited state. When an electric current passes through the mercury vapor, it excites the mercury atoms, causing them to release ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light then interacts with the phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp, producing visible light.


Are mercury boat engines safe for the environment?
