Question

Plasma technology is based on the fluorescent light bulb.

True

False​

Answer 1

Answer:

The conventional tubular fluorescent lamp contains a plasma gas at a pressure of about 0.4% of atmospheric pressure. ... The plasma in a fluorescent lamp produces ultraviolet light that is converted to visible light by the phosphor coating on the wall.

Answer 2

The given statement is true because the fluorescent light bulb operates on the plasma technology basis.

• Ionised atoms make up plasma, which is a state of matter.
• It is generated when a gaseous molecule receives too much energy, such as electrical energy, causing the atom to be excited into an ionised state.
• The fluorescent devices are made up of mercury-vapor gas discharges that emit fluorescence based on the state of matter plasma.
• The electrical energy stimulates the gaseous molecules into an excited plasma state, which causes the phosphor coating on the bulb's surface to shine by emitting UV light.
