Question
sir
plz tell me that which gasses are filled in flourescent tube light.also give the energy level diagram of diffferent
excited and matestable state.
It's generally mercury. Look below for a table, as far as a diagram you'll have to find a proper reference on your own. All the ones I know of are proprietary and can't be generally accessed via the internet without a license to the reference material. If your library has such, you'll find them.
