Facets:
Source sentences:
text: Such a tube is known as a "gaseous tritium light source" (GTLS), or beta light (since the tritium undergoes beta decay).
text: The tritium in a gaseous tritium light source undergoes beta decay, releasing electrons that cause the phosphor layer to phosphoresce.[citation needed]
text: The tritium in a gaseous tritium light source undergoes beta decay, releasing electrons that cause the phosphor layer to fluoresce.

text: The tritium undergoes beta decay which releases electrons that trigger the phosphor layer causing it to glow.
text: My understanding of how they work is that tritium undergoes beta decay, emitting electrons that excite a phosphorescent coating on the inside of a tritium-filled tube, producing light.
