  • Olive oil fluoresces when illuminated by light within a certain frequency range. Violet light causes fluorescence, but attenuates quickly. Green light causes fluorescence but doesn’t attenuate. Red light scatters but does not fluoresce or attenuate.
  • Oil and lasers in L01, section B5 (or B6).
