Glowing Water By Jessica and Ella
Glowing water;what you will need • What you will need… • A Black Light • Tonic Water • Highlighter • A Dark Room
Instructions • If you are using a Highlighter pen, carefully break it open, remove the felt and soak it in a small amount of water for a few minutes. • 2. Find a dark room. • 3. Turn on the black light near your water. How does it look?
Why it Happens • Black Light is a part of a wide range of light rays, some that we cannot see.(electromagnetic spectrum.) • The black light emits a UV light that and illuminate objects that contain a substance that emits light.(phosphors.) • Your water glowed under the black light because it contained phosphors. If you used the highlighter, then the UV light reacted with phosphors in the dye. If you used tonic water, then the UV reacted with phosphors in a chemical used in tonic water called quinine.
