● I do not agree with the statement of Oliver that substance will exhibit fluorescence when it is is placed in a microwave oven.
● This is because fluorescence of a substance occurs only when it absorbs ultraviolet light it and the molecules of the substance get excited due to the the radiation exhibited by ultraviolet rays.
● In case of microwave oven only microwaves are are produced which cannot exit the molecules are atoms present in a substance and the given statement is false.

The statement where Olivia is putting the substance in microwave to find out whether it is fluorescence or not, is not correct because putting a substance in microwave will not disclose whether it is fluorescence or not.
Explanation:
- The effect of fluorescence in any substance comes out only after the substance is put through ultraviolet radiation as the absorption of this radiation reveals the fluorescence for the light energy that the molecule possesses.
- While in case of microwaving the substance, it is kept in presence of microwave radiation which are not enough to produce the light energy molecule is.
