How mercury lamp work as a polychromatic?

A mercury lamp works as a polychromatic light source by emitting light at multiple wavelengths due to the excitation of mercury vapor. When an electric current passes through the gas, it excites the mercury atoms, which then release energy in the form of light as they return to their ground state. This emitted light includes a spectrum of wavelengths, primarily in the ultraviolet and visible range, resulting in a mixture of colors. The combination of these wavelengths creates a polychromatic light effect, which can be further enhanced by using phosphor coatings that convert some of the UV light into visible colors.

How did mercury get its color?

Because it is in that kind of atmosphere! Luxray8910 says: Mercury actually DOESN'T "change" its color. The views that you look at Mercury from make it seem different colors, but it's not really "changing". Mercury is ACTUALLY more of a silver-tan color, but light reflecting off of its surface constantly make it seem to be that orangey-color you often will see.
