Q.No.137: - How fluorescent lamp works?


Ans: - In the case of fluorescent lamp an electric current passed through the gas in the tube causes the electrons to move to higher energy states. When the electrons return to their original energy states, they give up their excess energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation. This radiation is absorbed by atoms of the coating on the inside of the glass tube, which then emit visible light.
