Ultraviolet Light
Electro-detonation light flash morphology observations indicate that when certain specific catalysts are used, a significant proportion of electromagnetic emissions are outside of the visible light spectrum, in the ultraviolet range.
Physics
Observations are consistent with electron transitions to de-excited states. These transistions are expected to be accompanied by photon emissions outside of the visible range, in the ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet ranges.
Experiments
Method: Fuel mixes were detonated using electical discharge.
Observations: Certain combinations of electrodes and fuels have been slown to produce light flashes with emissions in the ultraviolet range. Detonations producing ultra violet emissions were also often accompanied by a loud audible sound indicating that significant energy was being produced by these reactions.
Conclusion: Observations may be indicative of higher energy electron transistions to de-excited and/or super-excited states.
