General term describing the capability of a mineral with a habit of giving off light under certain conditions. Three examples of luminescence are fluorescence, triboluminescence, and thermoluminescenc [..]

Any emission of light at temperatures below that required for incandescence.

The quality of emitting light by absorbing radiant energy from another source and converting it into a visible wavelength. (See also fluorescent lamp.)

light emission which is not caused by heating

Luminescence refers to emitting rays of light. A luminescent material is deposited on numbers and hands in order to read the time in the dark.

Colloquially referred to as “lume,” luminescence is the glow given off by watch numerals, indices and hands that have been coated with a photoluminescent material (“lumed”). While early watches used r [..]

Emission of light other than incandescence, as in bioluminescence; emission as a result of and only during absorption of radiation from some other source is called FLUORESCENCE; continued emission aft [..]

(physics) Any emission of light that cannot be attributed merely to the temperature of the emitting body.

Luminescence is spontaneous emission of light by a substance not resulting from heat; it is thus a form of cold-body radiation. It can be caused by chemical reactions, electrical energy, subatomic mot [..]
