What are some fluorescent minerals?

If you put them under ultra-violet light it changes color and glows.


What wavelength ultraviolet light is best for viewing fluorescent minerals?

Short-wave ultraviolet light (UV-C, 100-280 nm) is best for viewing fluorescent minerals, as it provides the most intense fluorescence. Medium-wave ultraviolet light (UV-B, 280-315 nm) can also be used, but the fluorescence will be less intense. Long-wave ultraviolet light (UV-A, 315-400 nm) is not ideal for viewing fluorescent minerals as it may not excite the fluorescence as effectively.


Which portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is used to identify fluorescent minerals?

Ultraviolet (UV) light is used to identify fluorescent minerals. Specifically, shortwave ultraviolet (UV-C) and longwave ultraviolet (UV-A) light are commonly used in mineral identification due to their ability to cause fluorescence in certain minerals when exposed to them.


How does ultraviolet light will help in locating these minerals?

Ultraviolet light can cause certain minerals to fluoresce or emit visible light. By shining ultraviolet light on rocks, minerals that fluoresce can be easily identified and distinguished from other non-fluorescent minerals, aiding in their detection and identification. This property of minerals is harnessed in the field of mineralogy for exploration and research purposes.

What happens to the light if the light shines through a prism?

When light shines through a prism, it is refracted, which means it is bent as it passes through the prism. This bending of light causes it to separate into its component colors, creating a rainbow spectrum.


What happens to the different colors of light when white light shines on a opaque violet object?

it reflects violet and absorbs the other colors


What happens when light shines on a translucent object?

When light shines on a translucent object, some of the light is scattered and absorbed by the material, while the rest passes through. This gives the object a softer appearance compared to transparent objects, as the light is diffused as it passes through.


What happens to the spectrum if a red light shines on a prism?

When red light shines on a prism, it will refract and disperse into its component colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) due to their different wavelengths. This creates a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow.
