fluorescence  

Definition

  • Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore a lower photon energy, than the absorbed radiation. (Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence)
