A strobe light produces light by which mechanism?

Explanation:
Strobe flash works by storing energy in a capacitor and releasing it in a very short pulse through a gas-filled tube (usually xenon). The rapid discharge ionizes the gas, producing a bright, brief flash of light. This is different from heating a filament (incandescent), chemical luminescence, or LED pulsing methods.
