  • Abstract
    Fluorescence is a property of many substances. It consists of an emission of light under excitation by radiation whose wave length falls within a critical absorption band. When the emission persists for an appreciable period after the existing radiation has been extinguished, it is known as phosphorescence. The fundamental principles of fluorescence are described in detail.
