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.
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
They are just tapers that react to a black light. Kind of like UV paint that glows.
When ozone react with UV, oxygen is formed. Nascent oxygen is also formed with it.
Yes, UV light can produce ozone during the disinfection process. UV light can react with oxygen in the air to create ozone, which can help in disinfecting surfaces and air.
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.
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
A black light will not illuminate silver foil, as it does not contain phosphors that react to UV light. Iridescent foil may reflect some UV light from the black light, but it will not glow or illuminate like fluorescent materials would.
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.
UV nose rings and studs are made from a bio-compatible plastic that will react to Ultra Violet light or "black light" used in nite clubs. The reaction is a glowing effect which doesn't effect the structure or safety of the material reacting to the light.
Fluorescent or neon colors, such as bright greens, pinks, and yellows, tend to show up prominently under ultraviolet (UV) light. These colors appear to glow because certain dyes and pigments react to UV light by emitting visible light.
