The mean free path of the electrons in a discharge tube is 20 cm. The tube itself is 10cm long. What is the length of the Crookes dark space?

Glow in discharge tube is due to

The conditions for the discharge of electricity through gases in a discharge tube is _______.

Assertion : If different gases are filled turn by turn at the same pressure in the discharge tube the discharge in them takes place at the same potential. Reason : The discharge depends only on the pressure of discharge tube and not on the ionisation potential of gas.

The mean free path of electrons in the gas in a discharge tube is inversely proportional to the pressure inside it. The Crookes dark space occupies half the length of the discharge tube when the pressure is 0.02 mm of mercury. Estimate the pressure at which the dark space will fill the whole tube.
