Do fluorescent markers glow under a black light?
Yes of course, that is why they are fluorescent.
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.
Why does lemon juice glow under black light?
Almost anything fluorescent or neon will glow.
Why does calcium glow under a black light?
There is a problem with your question, there is NO BLACK LIGHT! Radiation--electromagnetic waves--visible light, infrared radiation, etc. Light can only be invisible, not black.
How do air wick colour changing candles work?
Infrared light. There is an electronic kit at the bottom of the glass with and LED light on it which gives the illumination of colors. It is activated by infrared light. Infrared light, along with visible light, is given off by flames and incandescent light bulbs. Fun fact. Remote controls for TVs, DVD players etc work by sending infrared signals to the device. Try pointing a remote control into the candle and you should see it lights up! (putting the candle directly under a lightbulb should work too, but this isnt nearly as fun)
Do fluorescent markers glow under a black light?
Yes of course, that is why they are fluorescent.
When is a mineral a fluorescent?
when it glows under ultraviolet light.
Is it possible to manufacture fluorescent ink?
Yes, fluorescent inks can be manufactured. And they are. To keep it simple, something that is fluorescent will fluoresce under high energy light, usually ultraviolet light. This high energy light will be absorbed by the fluorphore, and it will re-emit light of a lower energy, usually in the visible spectrum where we can see it. (The rest of the light energy of the incoming light will retained as heat - atomic and/or molecular vibration.) Fluorescent markers find application in the security or property control area where they are used to mark things like chairs or tables or stuff like that. The marks are invisible under normal circumstances, but will fluoresce and become visible under black light. Certainly there are still posters that are printed with fluorescent ink and look cool under black light.
What gives off visible light under an ultraviolet light?
== Fluorescence== Fluorescent objects emit visible light when stimulated by ultraviolet light.
Why do your brown eyes glow green under a black light?
There is no such thing as black light. Black is the absence of light.The above statement is incorrect. The color Black when speaking of light, is the absence of light, but a black light is the term used for Invisible ultraviolet or infrared radiationA black light causes fluorescent materials to emit visible light and is used to take pictures in the dark of various substances.

What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
Why does the color of an object look different under a fluorescent lamp from the way it look under an incandescent lamp?
differences in the color of light will change the color's appearance as it is seen under fluorescent and incandescent. An incandescent lamp, like the sun, produces a spectrum of light in every color in a wide band, broad enough to cover the entire visible spectrum -- and extending past it to many colors that humans can't see. A fluorescent lamp produces a spectrum of light in a few narrower bands of color. That is why a fluorescent lamp is more energy efficient than a incandescent -- the fluorescent lamp doesn't waste energy producing photons that humans can't see. Some materials (such as white paper) reflect all visible colors equally. They look white in almost any kind of light. Other materials absorb some colors more strongly than other colors. They look colored in "white" incandescent light. If we have a material that reflects most colors equally, except for a narrow band of colors, and that band is in the "dark" part of of the fluorescent spectrum -- it will look the same color as white paper. If we have another material that reflects most colors equally, except for a narrow band of colors that is in one of the bands of colors produced by a flourescent lamp -- that material will look even more deeply colored in fluorescent light than in incandescent light.
Why does lemon juice glow under black light?
Almost anything fluorescent or neon will glow.
What are some fluorescent minerals?
If you put them under ultra-violet light it changes color and glows.
How do you use fluorescent in a sentence?
It still has dingy corridors, ancient washrooms, rusting bunk beds (six to a room),a single fluorescent bulb hanging from the ceiling and an ancient radiator in front of the window.
