From wikipedia: "Because of its relatively constant and well-known fluorescence quantum yield, quinine is also used in photochemistry as a common fluorescence standard" See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinine and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tonic_water_uv.jpg
Tonic water contains quinine, which fluoresces under ultraviolet (UV) light. When exposed to UV light, the quinine molecules in the tonic water absorb the light energy and then re-emit it as visible light, causing the tonic water to glow in the dark.
Glowing jello glows because of the quinine that absorbs light from the black light
Tonic water does not glow when mixed with green highlighter ink because the quinine in tonic water, responsible for fluorescence under UV light, is not reactive to the wavelength of light emitted by the green highlighter ink. The fluorescent properties of quinine are specific to certain wavelengths of UV light, which the green highlighter ink does not produce.
The bitter principle in grapefruit is naringin, not quinine. They are not chemically related.
well you have to have a blue light, like in a flashlight that is really bright, that might work and if u have a light up pen, u can use that and a uv (NOT uvb light) light will work.i hope tis help, oh and a girl use her cellphone light and sshe said it woked pefectly
The UV light is different to that of fluorescent light. The UV originates from the sun. The latter one does not.No, it is not. UV is different.
Quinine
Yes, UV light and UV rays refer to the same thing - ultraviolet radiation. UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye. UV light or UV rays are terms used to describe this form of radiation.
Ultraviolet (UV) light bulbs emit UV rays.
Yes, wasps are attracted to UV light. UV light can mimic the light spectrum of flowers, which are a food source for wasps. This attraction to UV light can lead wasps to light sources such as outdoor lights or bug zappers.
It is different because the UV light is brighter then a normal light and it is like a laser. UV light is different to normal light because it is invisible and the wave length is smaller.
yes the UV light kills the fungus
