Solution

In tube light, the gas contains vapour of metals. In metallic atoms, electronic transition occurs due to which light of a particular wavelength is emitted. So
emission of white light is due to electronic transition and not due to vibration of atoms as in hot substances. So, Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
