What is the differences between phosphorescence and fluorescence?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Fluorescence is light energy produced by a process where high-energy radiation (such as ultraviolet or X-ray) is absorbed by electrons surrounding an atom and is re-emitted as light energy.
Phosphoresence is light energy produced by a particular type of chemical reaction where the excess chemical energy of the reactants is given off as light energy.

What is the definition of the word phosphoresent?
The word phosphorescence is a material similar to fluorescence but it does not give out light quickly. It does this because it slowly absorbs radiation.

After absorbing ultraviolet light a mineral releases visible light rays has the property of what?
The ability of a mineral or substance to glow during and after exposure to ultraviolet light is called fluorescence. If it continues to glow after the ultraviolet light has been turned off the effect is called phosphorescence.
How do you describe a mineral?
There are actually quite a few properties to classify rocks and minerals. Some of these are chemical composition, radioactivity, phosphorescence, grain size, hardness, color, streak and fluorescence.
An object that gives off its own light is said to be?
such objects are identified with the suffix -escence where the root word is the element that is responsible for the light. When you have Florine as the source of the light you have fluorescence. When you have phosphorus as the source of the light you have phosphorescence. and so on. theoretically every element could contribute to this.
How do you describe the properties of rocks and minerals?
Rocks and minerals are classified by such properties as chemical composition, radioactivity, phosphorescence, grain size, hardness, color, streak, fluorescence, chemical reactiveness, crystal structure, cleavage, density, luster, habit, fracture, optical properties, and opacity.
What compound between phenolphthalein and fluorescein are expected to have the greater quantum yield of fluorescence?
phenolphthalein will have a greater quantum yield because dissolved oxygen can reduce the fluorescence intensity
What is the synonym of phosphorescence?
