Question
Chapter 7, Problem 53E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The principle behind the fact that some clothes glow under the black light and others do not is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The ultraviolet radiation is high energy radiation of short wavelengths, which is not visible to human eyes. These are emitted by hot objects, like the sun or stars.
Light has both particle and wave properties; hence, it has dual characteristics.
