Question

a museum sets up a display of fluorescent minerals. which best describes how electromagnetic waves can be used to enhance the display? infrared light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light. visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off infrared light. ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light. visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Fluorescent minerals absorb higher - energy electromagnetic waves (such as ultraviolet light) and then emit lower - energy visible light. Ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye, but the resulting visible light makes the minerals glow.

Answer:

Ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light.
