What does mercury discharge mean?

It usually means you’re ovulating As you approach this point in your cycle, cervical mucus production increases. This results in more abundant discharge that’s clear and stretchy. This increased discharge helps to usher sperm up your cervix so they can fertilize the released egg.

What is tube mercury?

A fluorescent lamp, or fluorescent tube, is a low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor, which produces short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp to glow.

What was the purpose of the mercury tube?

Invented in 1902 by Peter Cooper Hewitt, mercury-arc rectifiers were used to provide power for industrial motors, electric railways, streetcars, and electric locomotives, as well as for radio transmitters and for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission.

What are the colors of the discharge tubes?

1 Hydrodgen Blue-violet 2 Helium Pink-orange 3 Neon Red 4 Argon Violet 5 Krypton Lavender Gas Color 6 Xenon Blue 7 Mercury Vapor Blue-violet 8 Oxygen Blue-violet 9 Water Vapor

Where does the arc discharge from a mercury vapor lamp come from?

The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz arc tube mounted within a larger borosilicate glass bulb.

What kind of filament does a mercury vapor lamp use?

There are also self-ballasted mercury vapor lamps available. These lamps use a tungsten filament in series with the arc tube both to act as a resistive ballast and add full spectrum light to that of the arc tube. Self-ballasted mercury vapor lamps can be screwed into a standard incandescent light socket supplied with the proper voltage.

Where do you use mercury vapor light bulbs?

Mercury vapor lamps are bright, long-lasting light sources that are often used to light large areas such as streets, gyms, sports arenas, banks, or stores. The bulbs have an inner quartz tube containing the mercury vapor discharge.
