Question

How does fluorescent light compare to incandescent light in terms of the way the light is produced?

Answer 1

the flu. light uses gas which emits radiation when charged.

the conventional bulb uses a thin coil of tungsten  which has very high resistance to current and consequently heats up.heat is radiated as infrared "light" which is invisible to us but certain animals such as rattlesnakes can see it. Anyway when the temp. gets high enough the infrared wavelength is shortened until it becomes visible as red  then orange yellow etc. thus flu.lights are waay more efficient.
