Neon does not glow in the dark but it does glow in black light or UV light. Because neon colors are so bright when illuminated with light, it gives the appearance that neon colors would glow in the dark.No, it is a colourless gas but it will glow red if you pass an electrical current through it.Neon is also another way of describing brightly coloured things, but they don't glow in the dark either.
One characteristic of diamond may be its fluorescence. From the link below: "Fluorescence, produced by ultraviolet light from the sun, by black lighting or other long-wavelength UV source, occurs in an estimated 35% of gem grade diamonds."
The most common source for UV light would be the sun. Generally everyone is exposed to UV light when they go outside during the day or sit in the sunlight in their home.
No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.
yes
Because of the phosphates. The UV light causes things to phosphores.
Yes. Only certain minerals will glow under ultraviolet light. First you have to have the uv light shining on it, then you have to turn the lights off and they will grow
The whites of the eyes and the bones of your body glow under a UV.
The reason why scorpions glow under black light or commonly known as ultra-violent light is because their bodies contain a chemical called phosphate which glows under it.
im not to sure why ur faeces glows under uv light but it could possiby be because u r creating a chocolate sunday. eat up judabayga :P
Scorpions do...
The substance may glow under UV light or it may be possible to stain it at the end of the process.
i don't know the minerals but its called luminescence
yes
UV lights are used to reveal substances that our naked eye could not. There are some substances, such as fingerprints, fecal matter, and blood, that glow under UV light. Forensic scientests and detectives use this technology to help solve crimes.
The UV wavelength becomes visible based on flaws in the carbon lattice structure. As well, once the light is removed, some diamonds emit a phosphorescence that helps identify the exact source of the stone.
Black light is only black because very little of the light the lamp produces is in the visible spectrum. Most is actually ultraviolet (UV) light. The frequency of such light is just a little higher than violet (hence the name ultraviolet). The human eye cannot detect UV light, so black light is mostly invisible to us (you might see a faint violet glow however). UV light can cause certain materials to glow due to an effect called Fluorescence. This entails a material absorbing light at a certain frequency (e.g. UV light) and retransmitting it at another frequency, for example visible light. We cannot see UV light but we can see the retransmitted visible light causing the object to glow. Black light theaters make good use of such materials, but in many countries the paper money also contains fluorescent materials. That is why people working behind the counter in shops will sometimes hold money under a UV lamp; counterfeited money might not have such security features and will thus reveal itself for the fake it is.
