  2. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    Zinc sulfide with about 5 ppm of a copper activator is the most common phosphor for the glow-in-the-dark toys and items. It is also called GS phosphor. Mix of zinc sulfide and cadmium sulfide emit color depending on their ratio; increasing of the CdS content shifts the output color towards longer wavelengths; its persistence ranges between 1 ...

  3. Luminous paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_paint

    Radioluminescent paint is a self-luminous paint that consists of a small amount of a radioactive isotope (radionuclide) mixed with a radioluminescent phosphor chemical. The radioisotope continually decays, emitting radiation particles which strike molecules of the phosphor, exciting them to emit visible light.

  4. Roblox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox

    Roblox occasionally hosts real-life and virtual events. They have in the past hosted events such as BloxCon, which was a convention for ordinary players on the platform. [99] Roblox operates annual Easter egg hunts [100] and also hosts an annual event called the "Bloxy Awards", an awards ceremony that also functions as a fundraiser. The 2020 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis

    Blue–red contrast demonstrating depth perception effects 3 Layers of depths "Rivers, Valleys & Mountains". Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey images.

  6. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Such a substance will then emit light of gradually decreasing intensity, ranging from a few seconds to up to several hours after the original excitation. [ 4 ] Everyday examples of phosphorescent materials are the glow-in-the-dark toys, stickers, paint, and clock dials that glow after being charged with a bright light such as in any normal ...

  7. Triboluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence

    Triboluminescence is a phenomenon in which light is generated when a material is mechanically pulled apart, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed (see tribology). The phenomenon is not fully understood but appears in most cases to be caused by the separation and reunification of static electric charges , see also triboelectric effect .

  8. Tritium radioluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_radioluminescence

    Tritium radioluminescence is the use of gaseous tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, to create visible light. Tritium emits electrons through beta decay and, when they interact with a phosphor material, light is emitted through the process of phosphorescence.

  9. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    One is to use individual LEDs that emit three primary colors—red, green and blue—and then mix all the colors to form white light. The other is to use a phosphor material to convert monochromatic light from a blue or UV LED to broad-spectrum white light, similar to a fluorescent lamp .
