					 What is the most commonly used substance in fluorescent tubes?
- 
                        -  Sodium oxide and argon 
 
-  Sodium vapour and neon 
 
-  Mercury vapour and argon 
 
- Mercury oxide and neon
 
-  Sodium oxide and argon 
Correct Option: C
A fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a gasdischarge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapour. it contains mercury vapour and argon. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. A fluorescent lamp converts electrical power into useful light more efficiently than an incandescent lamp.
