Fluorescence is a process where a
Phosphorescence
Phosphorescence, like fluorescence,
involves the absorption and subsequent
emission of light. However, in
phosphorescence, the return to the ground
state occurs over a more extended period,
02
ranging from milliseconds to hours.The
extended transition time is due to a spin-
forbidden transition, resulting in a delayed
emission of light.
