  • Understanding Fluorescence: Calcite's UV to Red Emission
    Calcite absorbing ultraviolet light and emitting red light is an example of fluorescence.

    Here's why:

    * Fluorescence: This is a process where a substance absorbs light energy at one wavelength (in this case, ultraviolet) and then emits light at a longer wavelength (red). The emitted light typically has a lower energy than the absorbed light.
