Uses of neon

Uses of Neon:

1- Neon is extensively used in neon  glow lamps for advertising . It is because neon has a characteristics of properties giving an orange red glow in a discharge tube at 2mm pressure and at 1000 volt. This light become visible from the distance even thought fog and mist .

2- Since neon lights have better penetrating power through the fog and mist , these are used in the beacon lights for the safety of air navigation.

3- Neon mixed with argon or mercury vapours produced different coloured light in different types of light of glasses . These are used in advertisement and in sign boards
Example:

 Gas mixture - Type of Glass 
                            Tube
1- Neon                  1- colourless

2- Neon-argon               2- colourless

3- Ne-Ar-Hg vapours    3- purple

  Color of the light produced
               1- Orange red
           
                      2- Ripple effect 
    
                      3- Dark blue


4- Mixture of He and Ne does not conduct electricity until a certain limited voltage is reached . Basing upon this property ,it is used in certain protective electronic devices like voltage stabiliser , transformer, regulator , relay etc .

5- Neon lamps are used in botanical garden in the Formation of Chlorophyll and stimulates the growth of plants.
