The correct answer is: if assertion is true but reason is false
The tube light is nothing but a gas discharge tube, which can emit light of different colours. This colour depends mainly upon the nature of the gas inside the tube and the nature of the glass. For neon gas the colour is bright red and for $\mathrm{CO}_2$ it is bluish. Again the fluorescent glow looks yellowish green for soda glass. So it is the nature of the glass and the gas inside the tube which determines the colour of the fluorescent glow. As argon is filled inside a tube light, the colour of the light is white.
