Why is mercury in compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)?

Mercury is an essential part of a CFL, allowing it to be an efficient light source. There are electrodes at both ends of the fluorescent tube, and a gas containing argon and mercury vapor is inside the tube. A stream of electrons flows between the electrodes at both ends of the tube.

The electrons interact with mercury vapor atoms floating inside the tube. The mercury atoms become excited, and when they return to an unexcited state, they release photons of light in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. These ultraviolet photons collide with the phosphor coating the inside of the tube, and the phosphor glows, creating white light.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
