How do discharge lamps produce light?
i. When the discharge lamp is connected to a source of electricity, the gas in between the electrodes gets ionized due to the applied potential difference.
ii. Ionised atoms move at high speed and hit unionized atoms among them and excite them to higher energy states.
iii. Excited atoms come back to their original states for attaining stability and emit light in the process.
