Luminescence

What do we mean by luminescence?

The emission of light that does not derive energy from the temperature of the emitting body, as in phosphorescence, fluorescence, and bioluminescence. Luminescence is caused by chemical, biochemical, or crystallographic changes, the motions of subatomic particles, or radiation-induced excitation of an atomic system. noun

The light so emitted. noun

See the quotation. noun

The emission of light from causes other than that which produces incandescence. noun

Any emission of light not ascribable directly to incandescence, and therefore occurring at low temperatures, as in phosphorescence and fluorescence or other luminous radiation resulting from vital processes, chemical action, friction, solution, or the influence of light or of ultraviolet or cathode rays, etc. noun

The faculty or power of producing light by biological processes, as in the firefly and glowworm. Also called bioluminescence. noun

The light produced by biological or biochemical processes. Also called bioluminescence. noun

Any emission of light that cannot be attributed merely to the temperature of the emitting body. noun

Light not due to incandescence; occurs at low temperatures noun

Light from nonthermal sources noun

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

The emission of light by a substance that has not been heated, as in fluorescence and phosphorescence. Urban Dictionary

The word luminescing can be used as cool, nice, sweet, legit, sweet, and rad. Urban Dictionary

Luminescence is spontaneous emission of light by a substance not resulting from heat; or "cold light". It is thus a form of cold-body radiation. It can be caused by chemical reactions, electrical energy, subatomic motions or stress on a crystal. Why are you searching this up on here? Go on Google instead Urban Dictionary
