Unit 6 Experiments EXPERIMENT Light and Dark Visitors experiment with several objects that glow in the dark through fluorescence, some that glow through phosphorescence, and some that do not glow in the dark at all. They place the objects in a lightproof box and observe them through a viewing area at the top of the box. Visitors can also switch on a black light inside the box. OBJECTIVES: Visitors learn how some objects glow in the dark. They learn the difference between fluorescence and phosphorescence.

Cut a 6 in. by 3 in. viewing hole in the top. Attach a “head rest” over the viewing hole. The head rest is made as a 4 in. by 6 in. rectangular box with no top or bottom. The two 6-in. edges have an arc cut out along the top edge to allow a curved forehead to rest on them. U6.22 Unit 6 The Chemistry of Toys Experiencing Chemistry ©1997 OMSI Experiment: Light and Dark Operating Guide Line the inside of the box with black paper. In the upper left-hand corner of the back piece inside the box, attach a light socket. Install a momentary switch (button that turns light on only while it is held down) on the exterior of the box so that visitors can push it. Locate the switch in the upper back corner of the left- hand side. Connect the switch to the light socket. Screw the “black light” bulb into the socket. Set up the glow stick dispensing box and the used glow stick box (see photograph): Punch a hole in one end of each box large enough for a glow stick to fit through. Label the hole in one box “Glow Sticks,” “Dispense Here.” Label the hole in the other box “Insert Used Glow Sticks Here.” Using a rubber band, secure the lids of the boxes to discourage visitors from opening the boxes. Label the third box “Extra Glow Sticks.” Collect the view box from storage. Set out the view box and plug it in; test to see that the light works. At least 15 min before opening, quickly remove the glow sticks from the used glow stick box. Fill the dispensing box ½ full with glow sticks. Store extra sticks in the “Extra Glow Sticks” box. Refill the spray cleaner and tissue if necessary. Set out the dispensing and used glow stick boxes. Set out the spray cleaner and tissues. Set out the box or tray with the toy car, glow-in-the-dark toy, and yellow toy. Transfer the used glow sticks to the glow stick dispensing box. Store extra glow sticks in the “Extra Glow Sticks” box. Unit 6 The Chemistry of Toys U6.23 Experiencing Chemistry ©1997 OMSI Experiment: Light and Dark Operating Guide Return all equipment except the view box to the experiment tub. Clean the view box, especially the viewing area. Return the view box to the storeroom. ◊ Check the glow stick dispensing box periodically and replenish it as needed. Transfer new sticks from the “Used Glow Sticks” box or “Extra Glow Sticks” box. Transfer quickly and in a fairly dark area. Glow sticks will regenerate within ten minutes or less if not exposed to light very long. ◊ Periodically check the inside of the view box for stray toys and glow sticks. Experiments could be done on the glow sticks to chart exposure time vs. glow time. Various toys and objects could be viewed under black light to test for fluorescence. No special precautions are needed; follow standard lab safety procedures. U6.24 Unit 6 The Chemistry of Toys Experiencing Chemistry ©1997 OMSI .

Licetus, 1640 (about the Bologna stone) 1.1 What Is Luminescence? The word luminescence, which comes from the Latin (lumen = light) was fi rst introduced as luminescenz by the physicist and science historian Eilhardt Wiede- mann in 1888, to describe “ all those phenomena of light which are not solely conditioned by the rise in temperature,” as opposed to incandescence. Lumines- cence is often considered as cold light whereas incandescence is hot light. Luminescence is more precisely defi ned as follows: spontaneous emission of radia- tion from an electronically excited species or from a vibrationally excited species not in thermal equilibrium with its environment. 1) The various types of lumines- cence are classifi ed according to the mode of excitation (see Table 1.1 ). Luminescent compounds can be of very different kinds: • Organic compounds : aromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, anthracene, phenan- threne, pyrene, perylene, porphyrins, phtalocyanins, etc.) and derivatives, dyes (fl uorescein, rhodamines, coumarins, oxazines), polyenes, diphenylpolyenes, some amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine), etc. + 3 + 3 + • Inorganic compounds : uranyl ion (UO 2 ), lanthanide ions (e.g., Eu , Tb ), doped glasses (e.g., with Nd, Mn, Ce, Sn, Cu, Ag), crystals (ZnS, CdS, ZnSe, CdSe, 3 + GaS, GaP, Al 2 O3 /Cr (ruby)), semiconductor nanocrystals (e.g., CdSe), metal clusters, carbon nanotubes and some fullerenes, etc. 1) Braslavsky , S. et al .

    5 Light and Optics Chapter 14 Introduction to Chapter 14 Light We live in a world where light and color play a pivotal role in the very survival of life on this planet. Plants use sunlight to make sugar. Our ability to see helps us gather food. These processes and many others hinge on the unique properties of and light. This chapter will introduce you to some of light’s unique characteristics. Investigations for Chapter 14 Color 14.1 Introduction to Light How can you make light and how can you study it? In this Investigation you will look through a diffraction grating at a light source to see all the different colors that make up light. This leads us to the question “What makes different colors?” The different colors of light will be explained in terms of the energy of electrons falling from higher energy to lower energy inside atoms. Different atoms have different energy levels and produce different colors. 14.2 Color What happens when you mix different colors of light? All of the colors of light that you see are really a combination of three primary colors: red, blue and green. In this Investigation, you will discover how to make all colors of light by mixing the three primary colors. You will also use a tool called a spectrometer to analyze light. This instrument allows you to break light into its “fingerprint” wavelengths. 237 Chapter 14: Light and Color Learning Goals By the end of this chapter, you will be able to: ! Describe the atomic origin of light.

  • Chapter 19/ Optical Properties
    Chapter 19 /Optical Properties The four notched and transpar- ent rods shown in this photograph demonstrate the phenomenon of photoelasticity. When elastically deformed, the optical properties (e.g., index of refraction) of a photoelastic specimen become anisotropic. Using a special optical system and polarized light, the stress distribution within the speci- men may be deduced from inter- ference fringes that are produced. These fringes within the four photoelastic specimens shown in the photograph indicate how the stress concentration and distribu- tion change with notch geometry for an axial tensile stress. (Photo- graph courtesy of Measurements Group, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina.) Why Study the Optical Properties of Materials? When materials are exposed to electromagnetic radia- materials, we note that the performance of optical tion, it is sometimes important to be able to predict fibers is increased by introducing a gradual variation and alter their responses.

    JOURNAL OF RESEARCH of the National Bureau of Standards-A. Physics and Chemistry Val. 76A, No.6, November- December 1972 Phosphori metry * J. D. Winefordner Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32601 (July 26, 1972) Phosphorimetry in the past has received limited use because the precision of re producibility was inadequate, there were solvent limitations, and pre paration of test specimens was difficult and time consuming. Detection limits have now been lowered by more than two orders of magnitude by using a rotating capillary sample cell , a more stable excitation·source power s upply, and aqueous solvents. These steps have also inc reased precision by more than an order of magnitude. Considerable reduction in time and effort of sampling and measurement has been effected compared to phosphorimetric measurements made with standard procedures and comme rcial equipment. Twe nty microliters of aqueous solution is all that is required to fill a quartz capillary cell by capillary action. Capillary cells filled with aq ueous solutions do not crack when cooled to 77 K or when returned to room temperature. Rotation of the sample cell minimizes effects due to cell orientation and thus improves precision. Reduction of background phosphorescence results in improved accuracy of analysis. A study was made of the influence of methanol· water mixtures and of sodium·halide aqueous solutions on the magnitude of phosphorescence signals from several substances and of the e ffe ct on signal·to-noise ratios. The optimum solve nt system for many phosphorimetric measurements is discussed. Analytical results are given for several organic substances measured by phosphorimetry at 77 K.

  • The Power of Light! Light and Luminescence Science
    The Power of Light! Light and Luminescence Science Friday Funday Laboratory Notebook Name: Team: Experiment #1: Chemiluminescence – Building a Glowstick Guess how glow sticks work before beginning the experiment. Background: During chemical reactions between substances energy may be released. In most cases, energy will be released in the form of heat. However, in some reactions, energy can instead be released in the form of light. In this experiment we’ll examine the phenomena known as chemiluminescence, wherein a reaction will release light but not heat. Procedure (Check off the circles as you complete): o Acquire 5 centrifuge tubes (10 mL) with caps. Label them A-E. o Acquire a small graduated cylinder. o Acquire the four dye packets, labeled: Eosin Y (Orange Dye) Rhodamine B (Red Dye) 9,10-bis(phenlethynl)anthracene (Green Dye) Fluorescein (Yellow Dye) o Measure 5 mL of Luminol into each of your 5 centrifuge tubes. o Pour the four dyes into individual centrifuge tubes; leave one centrifuge tube without dye. o Add 5 mL of 30% Hydrogen Peroxide into each centrifuge tube. o Cap the tubes tightly and shake. Safety Alert: Hydrogen Peroxide is toxic! Do not open the tube! Observations: Observe the different colors and intensities (bright, slightly bright, mostly dim, dim): Write your observations below in the tubes labeled A-E. A B C D E Compare the colors to the visible spectrum: What do the different wavelengths mean? Why are some of the reactions brighter than others? Do the tubes feel warm? Is there still energy being released? What kind of energy? Experiment #2: Fluorescence, Black Lights, and Sunscreen: Background: In the previous reaction, energy held in chemical bonds was converted to energy in the form of light.
