electric light
electric light Artificial light produced by a flow of electricity in a wire or gas. In an ordinary light-bulb, an electric current heats a filament, such as tungsten-alloy wire, producing light by
incandescence. In a fluorescent tube, the
electric current passes through a gas. The gas atoms give off invisible ultraviolet rays. These strike a coating on the inside of the tube, causing it to emit light by
fluorescence.
