Neon lighting is one application using concepts from emission spectroscopy. Which of the following best describes how the emission process works in neon lighting?

• Ultraviolet light excites the neon gas to produce emitted white light.

• Energy excites the neon gas to an excited state. The relaxation to ground state causes light to be emitted.

• Neon gas reacts with oxygen in the air, which causes the emission of light.

• none of the above.
