PHOSPHORESCE Meaning and Definition

1. Phosphoresce is a verb that refers to the phenomenon in which a substance emits a faint glow or light without any external heat source. It is often characterized by a persistent and faint luminescence that can last for an extended period after the removal of the energizing source.

   This term is commonly associated with materials that have absorbed energy, such as light or radiation, and release it slowly over time in the form of visible light. Phosphorescence is distinct from fluorescence, as fluorescence involves the immediate release of absorbed energy, while phosphorescence occurs over a longer duration and can continue even after the energizing source is no longer present.

   The process of phosphorescence occurs due to the presence of certain compounds known as phosphors. These compounds have the ability to store energy and then slowly release it as visible light. Phosphorescent materials can be found in various forms, including minerals, certain types of chemicals, and even some living organisms.

   The glow produced by phosphorescent materials can vary in intensity and color, depending on factors such as the composition of the phosphor and the type of energy absorbed. This property has found various applications in industries such as safety signage, glow-in-the-dark toys, and scientific research.

2. To give out light, in the dark in ordinary temperatures.
