When one watches the T.V. scene, light is emitted out from the Cathode - ray tube. Its strength is 25,000 W in respect of colour T.V. sets while in Black & White sets it is 18,000 W. The Electrons discharged on the particles of Phosphorus coated on the inner view side of the tube which is called Screen are converted into a scene for the viewers. It is worthwhile to note here that 625 lines radiate in 25 seconds on each line containing 800 phosphorus dots on the screen. This affects the health of children.
