Luminescence comes in several different forms, including Chemiluminescence,

Radioluminescence, Phosphorescence, and Bioluminescence. Each type of luminescence is created differently. Phosphorescence is made by Phosphorus like Zinc Sulfide when they make contact with radiation like UV light. I have little ceiling stars using this. Chemiluminescence makes light through chemical reactions like Luminol, Baking Soda, and Copper Sulfate products made with this are stuff like glow sticks. Radioluminescence is when something is radioactive, using this only excited back then when we did not know radiation caused death. One of the most famous Luminescence is Bioluminescence. This is a form of Chemiluminescence in animals like fireflies. I did phosphoresce and fluorescences. For phosphoresces, I mixed 2.5 mL of hydrogen peroxide with 100 mL of water. Then get a new flask and fill it up with 100 mL and put (I don’t know the measurements so I’ll just say what KiwiCo says) 2 small white scoops of sodium carbonate, 2 small white scoops of luminol, 1 large white scoop of sodium bicarbonate, and 1 large orange scoop of copper sulfate. Then get the previous solution and mix them. For the fluorescence get 2 cups both filled with 100 mL of water, then put 2 small white scoops of zinc sulfide in one. Then with the second cup put 1 small orange scoop of fluorescein. Then mix the 2 mixes just made.
