Does a fluorescent bulb specificaly phosphorus reflects ultraviolet radiation.?
There is no phosphorus in a fluorescent lamp, the coating is a compound called phosphor.phosphorus is an element that burns.phosphor is a compound that when excited by an electron beam, UV light, or x-rays glows in visible light.A fluorescent lamp is a mercury vapor UV (aka black light) lamp with a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp tube to turn the invisible UV light to visible light.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent tube does that.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
fluorescent
What gives off visible light under an ultraviolet light?
== Fluorescence== Fluorescent objects emit visible light when stimulated by ultraviolet light.
What does fluorescent material do when exposed to ultraviolet radiation?
it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation and gives out visible light
Difference between fluorescent and phosphorescent material?
Fluorescent material immediately glows when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, that is it fluoresces. Phosphorescent material slowly absorbs and re-emits the radiation it absorbs. This enables phosphorescent material to absorb visible light spectra to "glow in the dark" at a later time.
How does fluorescent work?
Fluorescent lights glow because of an electric discharge in a glass tube that causes mercury atoms to emit ultraviolet light. The inside of the tube is coated with phosphor, which absorbs the ultraviolet light and then re-emits visible light.
How does the fluorescent lighting work?
ionized Mercury vapor emits UV light.phosphor coating on inside of tube absorbs UV light and emits visible light.visible leaves tube.
How does the fluorescent light bulb work?
ionized mercury vapor emits UV light.phosphor coating on inside of tube absorbs UV light and emits visible light.visible leaves tube.
What does fluorescent?
Fluorescent means something is glowing, usually with visible light. Fluorescent means giving off visible (or invisible) radiation as a result of absorbing shorter wavelength radiation.
Is einsteinium fluorescent?
