What makes a color fluorescent?
Fluorescent colors contain pigments or dyes that can absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths. They often contain fluorescent dyes that are able to absorb ultraviolet light and then re-emit it as visible light, resulting in the vibrant and intense colors that we perceive as fluorescent. The absorption and emission properties of these dyes are what give fluorescent colors their characteristic brightness and glow.
What are some examples of chemical energy being converted into light energy?
A perfect example is a common glow stick. In a glow stick, phenyl oxalate, fluorescent dye, and hydrogen peroxide mix to produce a chemiluminescent reaction (generating light from chemical energy).
Why diamond glows in dark?
