chemiluminescence excited state fluorescent |
Lightsticks are often used to demonstrate the effect of temperature on chemical reaction rates. They glow more brightly when immersed in hot water and dim in ice water.
Chemiluminescence is production of light by chemical reaction. This page offers a Quicktime animation of a chemiluminescent reaction, a list of Web resources about chemiluminescence, and bibliographies on chemiluminescence and bioluminescence. http://www.shsu.edu/~chm_tgc/chemilumdir/chemiluminescence2.html (5/23/99) |
