Preferred Label : Fluorescence;
NCIt definition : Fluorescence is a luminescence (i.e., optical phenomenon) in cold bodies, in which
a molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, and re-emits it as a lower-energy (longer-wavelength)
photon. The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as
molecular vibrations (heat).;
