Question

Light is produced in electric discharge lamps by-

A.

Magnetic effect of current

B.

Heating effect of current

C.

Ionization in a gas or vapor

D.

Carbon electrodes

Correct option is C


Electric discharge lamps, such as fluorescent lamps and sodium vapor lamps, produce light through the ionization of gas or vapor.
When an electric current is passed through the gas or vapor, the atoms get excited and emit light when they return to their ground state.
This ionization process is responsible for the generation of light in these types of lamps, making it an efficient way to produce illumination.
