How Glow In The Dark Tapes Work

04 December 2024

A glow in the dark tape, when exposed to light, will absorb photons, the photons excite the electrons to a higher energy state.

The excited electrons are stored in a metastable energy state, I did not understand what this was but someone once described it as like a ball balanced at the top of a hill, the ball is stable but is not at its lowest energy state, that would be when it eventually rolls to the bottom of the hill. The electrons will eventually return to their state as if they rolled to the ground thus releasing the stored photons, this creates the characteristic glow that we are familiar with. The intensity of the glow is determined by the quality and quantity of the photoluminescent compound added used to produce the glow in the dark tape.
