- Statement (i) is true. Plasma is often called the fourth state of matter and consists of ionized gas containing a mixture of ions and free electrons, which are in an ionic state. - Statement (ii) is false. Light in LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs is produced through electroluminescence in a semiconductor material, which is a solid-state phenomenon, not related to the plasma state. Light from fluorescent lamps or neon signs is produced by plasma. - Statement (iii) is true. The Sun and other stars are composed of plasma. While sunlight itself is electromagnetic radiation (light), the source of sunlight (the Sun) is in the plasma state. Therefore, sunlight originates from plasma.
What are true about plasma state? (i) Particles in this state are in ionic state. (ii) Light in the LED bulb is related to plasma state. (iii) Sunlight is also an example of plasma state.
