Ask your science teacher lol
Only if you buy a "full spectrum" of "grow light" type of compact bulb.
The link shown below to Wikipedia explains pretty well how a compact fluorescent lamp works.
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
None or a negligible effect. Similarly to incandescent or fluorescent tubes, they light up your work area so you can see what you're doing at the computer.
Fluorescent HID lights work well with all types of soil, instead try matching the type of fluorescent light with the type of plant you're growing. Standard fluorescent give of duller light and work better with starting a plant that will eventually go outside. Compact fluorescent, on the other hand, give of much more light and work best with growing larger plants indoors.
PL mean Plug in - Light Bulb, the most comment application is CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) which require assistance components to make it work or light up, different to incandescent light bulb, it can light up by just itself direct connect to our home electricity ac 100v to ac 240v.
If the ballast on a fluorescent light blows the lamp will not work.
Fluorescent lamps contain a small amount of mercury that must be vaporized to allow current to flow through the lamp and cause it to light up. The colder the lamp, the more mercury is in liquid form and not vapor form, causing a lower light output in the lamp.
Yes, all fluorescent lights, including the compact fluorescents contain some amount of mercury. It is a necessary component to make the bulb work and is the reason fluorescent bulbs should not be broken for disposal, but should be sent through a disposal path that bring them to a responsible recycling and disposal organization. Compact fluorescent bulbs, also called energy saver light bulbs, have more mercury than the conventional long fluorescent bulbs, which have been developed in recent years to use less mercury than used to be the case.
A neon light is more similar to a fluorescent light because they both glow brightly. They provided light to as you commonly know.If you have ever seen a Neon light and a fluorescent light you will probably say that they are alike.

Fluorescent lights glow because of an electric discharge in a glass tube that causes mercury atoms to emit ultraviolet light. The inside of the tube is coated with phosphor, which absorbs the ultraviolet light and then re-emits visible light.
