Fluorescent lamps are typically filled with a low-pressure mixture of argon gas and a small amount of Mercury vapor. When electricity passes through the gas, it excites the mercury atoms, causing them to emit ultraviolet (UV) light. This UV light then interacts with the phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp, producing visible light.
