Description
Beach sand is placed in a blender to show the property of triboluminescence. As the silica grains of sand are broken in the blender they give off blue light which in turn causes the sea shell fragments to glow yellow. Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated when asymmetrical crystalline bonds in a material are broken when that material is scratched, crushed, or rubbed.
