Alright before you say "what" I shall explain.
A few days ago I stumbled upon a video for a scientific toy known as "water balz", basically a type of gel ball that absorbs water. Watching the video, I noticed the properties of the balls match the same exact properties of the balls inside of an air freshener I keep in my dorm (my roommate is smelly).
I took out some of the balls, and put them in a cup of water, and came back the next day to find they had swollen to about 3 times their size.
So they were the same exact thing, just as I had guessed!
So, having my lasers around I decided to play around and point some colors into it. Red and blue did nothing, but green, green caused the light inside of the ball to turn yellow...
Slightly better picture
It's kind of hard to see, since the camera was saturated. But, it was yellow as can be, something around 589 nm I think, based off of the pictures I've seen online. It was pretty neat, needless to say to see green turn to yellow!
