How does something that glows in the dark, store the light?

Anyone know?

Thanks! Really cleared that up for me...

I found a link that kinda explains it. hope that helps

glow in the dark info

Dang you Hay.

Light can't be stored in conventional ways because it's too fast say to put in a bottle. Shine a light into a bottle, for example and then try to close the lid to store it. Doesn't work cause the light's too fast. It got out before you could close the lid. Things that can glow in the dark have little light pipes in them. light shines in one end of the pipe and the pipe is so long that before it reaches the other end the tube ends scome together and seal. Now the light goes round and round in the tube waiting for dark when the tube will open and let it shine out again.

Ok Ok

When light strikes some chemical compounds, the electrons are bumped into a higher energy state. This is tempory though. When the electrons go back to their ground state, they re emit the energy as a photon with energy in the range we can detect with our eyes.

Well it 'sounds' neat. Too bad your full of poo

they dont store light, the chemical reaction makes electrons move energy levels which in turn release photonic energy.

PS, this is how monitors can kill you even unplugged. they let electricity in and cause it to circle round and round in, this time, electricity tubes. When you get inside and touch the high voltage line, the tubes open up and zap you. That reminds me to say goodby, just in case.

Is this how we get reruns?

Moonbeam -

You need to do it at night and you have to use a brown bottle like a beer bottle.
Try it, you'll see.

What really happens is that it's the end of the tubes that rise and fall in the electron's orbit, but they are too small to see so your science won't learn about them till you start pealing back the curled up dimensions. But trust me, it's the tubes.

You know if these tubes vibrate at different fundimentals, you could generate any particle. This is where Coke comes from

you mean, use that kind of bottle after drinking the contents, that way it works that much better

I have an alternate question
How do things that do not glow store dark?

 

[Moonbeam]

nice try cyberian, but at night all you catch are moonbeams. sorry about the no caps, but i got peanut butter in my left hand.

um, the absense of light causes that. or if it is in daylight then the material absorbs all visible wavelengths of light thus making it appear dark.

Things store the dark at the electric companies. When they don't pay their light bill, they hold the dark as collateral.
