Assertion A tube light emits white light. Reason Emission of light in a tube takes place at a very high temperature.
- Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Correct answer: Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Solution
A tube light does emit white light, so the assertion is correct. The reason is also broadly true that light emission involves a high temperature, but that is not why a tube light appears white; the white light is mainly due to ultraviolet radiation from the discharge exciting the phosphor coating.
