Flashlight Physics: Exploring Energy and Color

by Air & Space STEM Outreach

During Flashlight Physics: Exploring Energy and Color uncover one of the coolest secrets about light—different colors actually carry different amounts of energy! Using glowing powders painted on paper and LED flashlights of various colors, we’ll see firsthand how some lights make the powders glow brighter than others. We’ll test what happens when we expose the glow in the dark powders to red, green, white, and ultraviolet light, and compare how much glow each one creates. This demo not only shows how energy varies with color, but it also connects to the science being conducted at the AFRL Quantum Lab, where researchers use light in cutting-edge experiments. Just like in that lab, we’ll be exploring photons, energy, and the visible spectrum, only with simple tools you can touch and see in person! By the end, you’ll understand why blue light is more energetic than red, and how that plays into quantum science and real-world applications.
