What is Photobleaching? A.When the fluorescence of a fluorophore becomes whiter due to too much light exposure. B.When a fluorophore does not emit fluorescence because it transmits the excitation energy to a fluorophore located very close. C.The decrease in the fluorescence intensity of a molecule in the presence of heavy metals. D.The irreversible loss of fluorescence of a molecule.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Fluorescence can be defined as a physio chemical process,in which light of shorter wavelength are absorbed by molecule,and then it is re emitted at longer wavelength.whereas, Fluorophores are the chemical compounds,that can absorb light at shorter wavelength and then re emit light at longer wavelength.
