Ekaterina Magg, Maria Bergemann and colleagues have published results of new calculations concerning the composition of the sun. https://phys.org/news/2022-05-solar-spectrum-decade-long-controversy-sun.html As part of the work on her Ph.D. in that group, Ekaterina Magg set out to calculate in...

Hello guys. I'm interested about wether or not a conventional neon sign such as this one could emit xray that could be harmful. Thanks a lot :)

The answer given to the above question is Final pressure$=\frac{(10.0mol\times 5.00bar) + (5.00 mol \times 20.0 bar)}{(10.0 mol +5.00 mol)}= 10.0 bar$ Is this answer correct? if yes, How and why? My question is while computing this answer, the volumes of each gas is not considered. Note:-...

I need help to understand the energy transfer mechanism in Helium Neon Gas laser. When helium atom is excited and staying in its metastable state, it is said to have collision with neon atom and thus transfers its 20.61eV energy plus some of its kinetic energy 0.05eV to enable neon atom to reach...

Hello all. I am conducting a simple research project, and am having a little trouble with the math for paschen's law. my question is. At 74762 Microns of pressure, using pure Neon gas, what is the electrode spacing in mm for the minimum breakdown voltage of that gas? Thank you.

I was wondering about the filament colors in a plasma ball that I have got. The main part of each filament is blue, but its end part is pink. Possibly the gas is 95% neon and 5% xenon, the pink part is light emitted by neon, and blue part light emitted by xenon. Using a hand spectroscope I...

Is liquid neon popular for bubble chamber detectors?

hi guys i was just wondering if i can use one of those neon indicator as some sort of ionization champer or as a crude geiger-mullar tube. and use the basic circuit of the radiation detector to make a simple radiation detector/counter this is the circuit i came up with : so the circuit works...

I want to produce a 100 volt peak to peak symmetrical AC waveform to light a miniature neon bulb. It strikes at about 90 volts then settles ("clamps") at about 50 volts, according to the spec. I want the frequency to be at least 10 kHz for easy filtering because the circuit will also be passing...

I am student of MS and working in the field of laser. I am trying to run an old Excimer laser system (XeCl) having output energy 400mJ, pulse width 30ns and frequency 1-100Hz. The laser works only for less than one hours after filling with new gases and the energy continuously decreases within...

I need a list of neon visible wavelengths. I wonder if any of you know of any good resources. I've tried searching but sometimes I get too many numbers. I also need to link each number with the spectrum colour chart, but so far I can't find anything like that. cos I don't want just want an...

Homework Statement The screen shot I have attached is the original question, I think I'm ok up until the Ne part. My answer just seems like a ridiculous number, I haven't had much experience with this so don't really know what an 'normal' KE for 1kg of gas would be. Homework EquationsThe...

Idea is a cold planet with dense atmosphere (10 atm) where human can survive, while a liquid carbon dioxide would be possible. As the main component of atmosphere I think about neon, because it should not cause nitrogen narcosis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_narcosis#Causes...

Neon is the lasing element in He-Ne laser. The lasing transition(632.8nm) is from 3s to 2p. In the energy level diagram there is one 1.15μm transition from 2s to 2p. But we studied that 2s orbital have lower energy than 2p then how it is possible, in the energy diagram, 2s level have higher...

I just read that sodium has a higher melting point than neon. As neon is a noble gas, how can it have a melting point if it isn't a solid?

Hi, I'm trying to understand how neon lights work. I understand that the emitted light comes from excited atoms in the gas, and I know what a neon light consists of. But I'm a little bit confused about one part, how do the atoms get excited? I've seen two different explanations, if I understand...

Hi All, I would like to know why the neon lamp is used to measure electrical polarity. What is the working mechanism involved. Best wishes, DaTario

Hello, I was recently pulsing a coil at fairly high voltages (200-600VDC) using DC squarewave, at fairly high frequencies (100Hz - 1.3KHz). The output of the coil had a Neon bulb attached. I wasn't measuring current output at the time. At one point, i don't remember the frequency or...

I have this neon indicator lamp that I would like to replace with an LED. It is a part of an old flash gun. The indicator is made to show "charge complete" and I've measured that to start from 240V and keep going until maybe 350V. The indicator lamp is connected in series with a 1.5Gohm...

hi my question has to do with this energy level diagram http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Hene-2.png" i was wondering, what the meaning of this "fast radiative transition is"? as far as i understood this, the light that you mainly want to get is the transition from 3s to 2p. but...

Neon has lowest excited energy at 1(s^2)2(s^2)2(p^5)3(s^1) state. And the excitation energy is about 16.9eV. And next energy is at 1(s^2)2(s^2)2(p^5)3(p^1) state. And the excitation energy is about 19eV. In Franck Hertz experiment with Neon, current decrease at every 19eV, no 17eV. Why...

Hi all- Can anyone offer any insight into a problem I've noticed for years but don't know how to solve? I'm a self taught neon tube bender. I am not an electrician or electrical engineer. Through the years, I've noticed neon tube, fluorescent lamp, transformer and ballast failure more often...

A section of an advertising sign consists of a long tube filled with neon gas having electrodes inside at both ends. A uniform electric field of 20 kN/C is set up between the electrodes, and neon ions accelerate along the length of the tube. Given that the ions each have a mass of 3.35 X 10-26kg...

It is my understanding that when neon goes from a liquid to a gas, it has an expansion ratio of 1:1400. Would using N- and N+ be a realistic rocket fuel? I understand that it would take a lot of energy but is there a way to figure out how much?
