Why don't charged particles glow?
because they don't
Is plasma in glow sticks?
yes a glow stick is plasma. A glow stick is plasma because its charged particle. also its carry electrical currents and generate magenetic flatland its 99% visible universe.
What happens when you snap a glow stick to make it glow?
When you snap a glow stick to make it glow, it will glow.
Is fluorescent light produced by heat?
Not in the way that an incandescent bulb does. A fluorescent lamp uses electricity to excite the particles of mercury vapor in the tube. This excited gas causes a phosphor to glow.
How does glow in the dark glow?
they have a chemical in them
Why don't charged particles glow?
because they don't
What forms when charged particles from the sun cause gases in the atmosphere to glow?
photon
How did Thomson know that the glow in the crt was from a stream of charged particles?
Firstly, the glow does not occur throughout the tube, but when the cathode rays hit a fluorescent screen. (There is a phenomenon where the tube glows, but that happens when there is more gas in the tube and is a different thing). Thomson did three experiments. In the first, he used a magnetic field to deflect the rays. This showed that the rays themselves were charged, implying they were particles. In his second he used an electric field to deflect the rays, and the direction of deflection showed they carried a negative charge. In the third, he varied the electric field and calculated the charge to mass ratio by the variation in deflection. This showed that the particles were very tiny, much tinier than anything known previously.
How did William crooks know that the glow in the cathode-ray tube resulted from stream of charge particles?
it was deflected by a magnet
How do the Aurora borealis glow?
The Sun emits electrically-charged particles called ions, which correspondingly move away from the Sun in a stream of plasma (ionized gas) known as the solar wind. As the plasma comes in contact with the Earth's magnetic field, the ions will be agitated into moving around the Earth. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth's ionosphere (an average of 60-80 miles above the surface), causing the ions to glow. This is the same principal as how a neon sign lights up. As electrons pass through the neon tubing, they glow, thus producing the light in a neon sign.
What is a Cathode ray gun?
basically JJ Thomson wanted to find out what a cathode ray was made of. Cathode tubes are a tube with wires in them. Scientists discovered that if the created a vacuum in the tube and sent a charge through the wires, it glowed. JJ Thomson set up a cathode ray and placed magnets on either side. This deflected the ray so the tube didn't glow. This meant the rays were negatively charged which meant they were made of negatively charged particles or electrons.

How can you tell if the blue n intendo DSi is fully charged?
i think it wont glow .
What are Auroras produced by?
The sun is constantly releasing charged particles out into space (electrons, protons, etc). This is known as the Solar Wind. Occasionally, a solar flare or coronal mass ejection releases a significant quantity of these particles (millions or even billions of tons of them). When they impact the Earth's magnetic field, they can cause the magnetic field lines to break and reconnect, which causes the charged particles to rush towards the poles. When these particles hit the upper atmosphere, they react with the atoms and molecules of the air and cause them to glow with the characteristic colours associated with the aurora.
What are extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through Earth's atmosphere?
Meteoroids
Is luminol safe in the blood stream?
Luminal is a substance that is used in glow sticks to make them glow. It is also used by forensic investigators to detect blood at crime scenes. Luminal is a dangerous substance and it is not safe at all for the blood stream. You should avoid contact with the skin and mucous membranes.
Why does Antarctica get northern lights?
Antarctica does not get the "Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)", being at the South Pole, it gets the "Southern Lights" or the Aurora Australis. The source of both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis is the sun. A stream of particles known as the "Solar Wind" spills around the edges of the Earth's magnetic sphere and, when it collides with gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow very spectacularly.
