Cherenkov Radiation Paper Plate
Features a blue-toned, fractal representation of Cherenkov radiation resulting from the storage of spent nuclear reactor fuel rods in water. The blue glow in the water is Cherenkov radiation. When a charged particle moves through a medium at a speed higher than the speed of light in that medium, a faint radiation is produced by the medium. In water charged particles excite water molecules, which then return to their normal state by emitting photons of blue light. Because the particle is moving faster than the speed of light in water, it can trigger a cascade of photons that are in phase with each other and can interfere constructively to form a visible blue glow. This is somewhat analogous to a sonic boom in the atmosphere. This effect was observed by Russian scientist Pavel Cherenkov in 1934 when he was asked to look at the effects of radioactivity in liquids. Cherenkov won a Nobel prize in 1958.

I ordered these for my 14 year old daughters "Murder Mystery" birthday party and she loved them. A great product that I ordered from the USA to England. However LUCKILY they arrived undamaged. They were in a flimsy bag which meant they were not protected from being crushed or bent. I could easily have bent the package in half which would have made them unusable. A simple cardboard box would have been ensured they were protected from travelling so far. Excellent quality and perfect for the party
