4. Question
Consider the following statements about Fluorescent Nanodiamonds( FNDs)
- FNDs are nano sized diamonds obtained from Fluoride nano particles.
- They are stable under the light, non- toxic and can maintain fluorescence for a longer duration.
- FNDs are created under high temperature and low pressure conditions.
How many statement(s) mentioned above are NOT Correct
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Incorrect Correct Incorrect FNDs are nanometre-sized diamonds composed of carbon nanoparticles. They are stable under light, non-toxic, and capable of maintaining fluorescence for long periods. Fluorescence: FNDs emit light of a lower frequency when irradiated with higher-frequency light.
