What color is given off by a tube that contains neon gas?

Neon signs give off a characteristic bright red to reddish-orange light. Other colors are created by using argon and mercury, and coating the inside of the tube with phosphors that emit the desired color when ionized. The mercury ionizes and emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The UV light slams into the phosphor coating, and the phosphor emits light. The color of that light will be determined by the composition of the phosphor coating.


Does the sun appears reddish as it sets because the sun emits more radiation at longer wavelengths at sunset?

Yes, at sunset the sun's light has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters shorter wavelengths of light, leaving mostly longer, reddish wavelengths to reach our eyes. This is why the sun appears reddish as it sets.

What is the color of neon?

Neon and all the other inert or noble gases have no color, smell or taste. They will, however, emit a characteristic color when ionized, as in a gas discharge tube.

What gas emits a bright orange color?

Nitrogen can emit a bright orange color when ionized, typically in the presence of high electrical fields like lightning or high-voltage equipment. The orange color is caused by the specific energy levels of the nitrogen atoms when they release photons of light.


Can fire be black?
