thats really nitrogen? mmhm didn't expect that color.

[evansp12]

It certainly is. Its emission spectrum matches that of nitrogen.

I must admit I was surprised when I learnt the nitrogen emission was pink. I use to think it was yellowish.

What part of the normal atmosphere gives the blue tone in plasma? I used to think it was nitrogen.

[evansp12]

Oxygen gives the blue discharge (according to my spectrum tube experiments), although I've read somewhere that nitrogen can give a blue white color with very high intensity electric discharge (e.g, lightning).

No, ever hear of a plasma TV?

[trigalg693]

No, plasma just means the gas is ionized.

yeah, its like the plasma lamp things. i think theyre filled with a nitrogen sotra compound. thats why they are the color they are when the electrons are excited...

well wait isnt the plasma state only in the stars?

you stole my H plasma lamp,haha..great video.
