How does glow water glow?

The answer is a Black light and Tonic Water. Tonic water contains a chemical called quinine which makes it glow bright blue when the water is exposed to black light.You take a bowl and put water or Tonic water just in case you want to drink it.Then you put highlighter ink in the water then stir the ink in the water. It looks kinda weird, but then you put the black light over it and it GLOWS.


How long does highlighter ink need to soak in water to make glow in the dark water?

Leave it in for an hour. Squeezing it will definitely help. It won't really be glow in the dark unless it's a glow in the dark highlighter, but it will fluoresce under a blacklight


Which glows more tonic water or highlighter?

Neither of these two examples glows of their own right. Both materials reflect light waves that impinge on them. [hint. consider looking at them in a dark room.]These two materials fluoresce due to their component matter fluorescing under ultra violet light. Thus they appear to be reflect more light than is incident.You can easily demonstrate this by putting an UV absorber between the light source and the object.And as to the question - the highlighter is designed to draw attention to the mark - an important property. So we would expect the fluorescence of tonic water to be rather unimportant, whereas it is a design property for the highlighter.

How do you make water glow?

Put radium in it. Just kidding please don't put radium in it, as it's radioactive and causes cancer. I would suggest putting glow-sticks or anything glow-in-the-dark in it that's safe to put in water. I've also heard of squeezing hi-lighter ink into the water
