Cathode Ray Tube - Help Needed (1 Viewer)

[Xayma]

No Im talking about having the gas in the tube be from a superheavy element so that when the electron jumps from an energy level it gives off radiation that isnt in the visible spectrum.

discharge tubes are not fully 100% vacuums, by the way most or all of our CRT tubes at school have leaked (does that mean there's holes in the glass or sumthing for it to leak)

 

[Xayma]

Actually the tubes wouldn't leak, air would have gotten in which means there would be a hole or crack or something to allow the air in.

 

[nickw...]

also the pressure of the gas. changes the colour. as a different pressure creates a different amount of average collisions per second between the fired electrons and the gas atoms.
