Sodium lighting is more efficient to run than white lights, and it gives an even light with less glare.

Is there a use for sodium?

Sodium is used for loads of things! Sodium Chloride is table salt, sodium metal is used to prepare elements to make alloys, and sodium vapour is used in street lights. It is also key in the paper, glass and textile industry. Hope this Helps!!


What is one way in which you can identify the elements that are used in various street lights?

By the colour of the light that they emit. Sodium vapour lamps produce yellow/orange light while Mercury vapour lamps produce white light.


What happens if you use a mercury source instead of sodium vapour lamp in diffraction grating experiment?

sodium vapour lamps produce much higher light output (about 90 lumens/watt) they cannot be used in lighting applications where colour-rendering property is very crucial. This is because most of the light emitted from a sodium vapour lamp is concentrated in the yellow part of the visible spectrum (around 580-590 nm) On the other hand, a mercury vapour lamp is quite suitable for lighting applications. This is because, the mercury vapour lamp can feed almost the entire visible region (380-780 nm) of the human visual system.

Can sodium and mercury exist in monoatomic molecule in vapour state?

No, sodium and mercury exist as diatomic molecules in the vapour state due to the nature of their chemical bonding. Sodium forms Na2 while mercury forms Hg2 molecules.
