I remember that many fillers were "hidden" behind the rear license plate. But then you were looking for tail lights, weren't you? BigEd , Apr 6, Joined: Aug 6, Posts: 1, Profile Page.

Absorption spectrum of Hydrogen. The dark lines correspond to the frequencies of light that have been absorbed by the gas. Do electrons and protons attract? Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Since opposite charges attract , protons and electrons attract each other.

Why do different elements produce different colors of light when heated? Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours. How do electrons become excited? When an electron temporarily occupies an energy state greater than its ground state, it is in an excited state.

An electron can become excited if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a nearby atom or particle.

What wavelength corresponds to an electron transition from the N 6 level to the n 4 level? What happens to white light when it passes through a prism?

When light passes through a prism the light bends. As a result, the different colors that make up white light become separated. This happens because each color has a particular wavelength and each wavelength bends at a different angle.

Why do elements have multiple spectral lines? This is why different elements have different discrete emission frequencies. Similar Asks. The optimal filling pressure is around 1. One problem which affected Krypton lamps at the time of their introduction was the fact that the lamp voltage is lower than for an argon-filled tube. Therefore when operated on existing ballasts, the krypton-filled lamps achieve a lower wattage rating and thereby deliver much less light.

This problem was circumvented by reducing the diameter of the glass tube from T12 38mm to T8 26mm diameter, which has the effect of increasing lamp voltage and this was successful in bringing the lamp wattage almost back up to normal levels.

Due to the fact that the Krypton T8 tube is more efficient than the Argon T12 tube, the luminous flux is approximately the same even though its power consumption is much reduced. The only exception to this general rule is the 8-foot W tube, which is also a krypton-argon product intended to replace the original Argon 8-foot W tube, however at the time it was considered impractical to make such a long tube in T8 size glass owing to its fragility.

Another difficulty with the Krypton T8 tubes is that this gas requires a higher starting voltage than argon - a problem which is compounded by the smaller tube diameter. Nevertheless the starting voltage is still somewhat higher, and these tubes normally work only on switch-start or electronic ballasts.

Fillings of the noble gas Neon are employed in cases where a very high power loading per unit length of the lamp is necessary. Contrary to Krypton which shows a reduced volt drop per unit length, neon can be used to increase the tube voltage. It is used most frequently in the HO and VHO high output tubes which are popular for industrial lighting, particularly in North America, and also in other highly loaded tubes for special applications. One difficulty with Neon is its low atomic mass, which offers little protection against the bombardment of the electrodes by high velocity ions during their anode phase of operation.

Neon is particularly destructive towards lamp electrodes, and it is customary to employ additional anode wires or plates to take some of the load away from the cathode coil, and thus minimise the liftime reduction when using this gas.

A relatively recent development is the addition of Xenon to the gas filling, to achieve an additional energy saving over the krypton-filled T8 tubes. Xenon causes a reduction in the discharge voltage, thus decreasing the power consumed by the tube on electromagnetic ballasts. It does not however account for a significant improvement in lamp efficacy - that is achieved in the Eco tubes by phosphor improvements.

One primary drawback that has been identified with Xenon-filled Eco tubes is their extreme sensitivity to ambient temperature variations.
