I suspect this refers to how flourescent light bulbs generate a quasi-continuous spectrum as opposed to the discrete emission lines like other self respecting plasma discharge tubes.
Here is a website that has several pages on Flourescent Lamps:

The first two or three are the ones useful to you. Also there are several links on the last page under More Great Links that will help you in your researches. Happy hunting!
BTW: This reeks of an intro science class lab write-up question. TAs at help desks or profs during office hours can help a great deal more effectively than something like yahoo answers, if you want to truly understand.
