Driving question: How does tonic water glow?
Introduction: This project will investigate how light interacts with matter; specifically the effect UV light has on certain atoms causing them to emit light. The color a tonic water solution appears under normal light is clear and a lot like regular water at first, but then glows brightly under UV light. In fact the color of some solutions/substances depend entirely on the type of light used to illuminate it.
