How to do photophysics with daily life products

Fluorescence is defined as the emission of light by a substance during its irradiation by electromagnetic radiation. For organic compounds, such phenomena is called molecular fluorescence and the light source for the irradiation is usually UV or visible light. During this workshop, live experiments will be performed with daily products that exhibit fluorescence properties under violet light. Such experiments have been designed to show that molecular fluorescence concept and photophysics phenomenon usually mentioned at an undergraduate and postgraduate level (Stokes shift, Kasha’s rules, inner filter effect, brightness, quantum yield, excitation spectrum, energy transfer, quenching) can be illustrated and discussed by using simple/regular daily life products and low-cost material.
