A experimental study about the black light with smartphone

Abstract

This work presents a study about the proposal of the black light using a flashlight of a smartphone with a blue filter, and this set could emitted ultraviolet light, to do experiments of fluorescence. The published works with this porposal did not analyse the emission spectra of light source. Using a spectrophotometer we investigated the emission spectra of the flashlight of three different smartphones. We also used some filters to analyse the light sources cited before. We did experiments of fluorescence with the flashligth of a smartphone and a lamp of dark light, and we compared the obtained results.
