Question

An electric current is passed through a fluorescent tube. Electrons and ions collide with mercury gas in the fluorescent tube, raising the mercury atoms to higher energy levels. Describe how a fluorescent tube produces visible light. Suggest how this happens. The resistance of the tube decreases when the potential difference across it isincreased.
