Bramley apple cut in half and slightly oxidising with internal structure fluorescence and unseen colours from blacklight and pigments in wooden board

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed electromagnetic radiation. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation, a striking example of fluorescence occurs when the absorbed radiation is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, (invisible to the human eye), while the emitted light is in the visible region that gives the fluorescent substance a distinct colour only seen when exposed to UV light or blacklight.
