Wonderful post!
Its nice to meet a fellow Nigerian and Mechanical Engineer first of all. You did a terrific job. I've also read about incandescent bulbs named this way because of the high temperature attained by the filament but i also read that the inert gas inside the bulb determines the colour of the light and this is the claim to which neon lights of different colours are made. How true is this?
A neon light is actually a type of cold cathode discharge light. And the color of which is determined by the gas inside as stated. Thanks for reading.
