  1. fluorescence
    Short-lived luminescence (a glow not caused by high temperature). Phosphorescence lasts a little longer. Fluorescence is used in strip and other lighting, and was developed rapidly during World War II because it was a more efficient means of illumination than the incandescent lamp. Recently, small b...

  4. Fluorescence
    If a substance absorbs light at one wavelength and re-radiates it at another wavelength almost immediately, it is fluorescent; this is why many materials glow under ultraviolet light. If the substance keeps re-radiating light over a period of seconds, minutes, or hours, it is called phosphorescent. ...

  7. Fluorescence
    Some minerals will glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet light or X-rays. This effect derives its name from the mineral fluorite, which is a good demonstrating mineral for this effect.

  11. Fluorescence
    The slow emission of longer wavelength light following the absorption of shorter wavelength radiation. Fluorescence is common with aromatic compounds with several rings joined together. Phosphorescence is similar but may persist long after the stimulating radiation is extinguished.
