Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.58E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why phosphorescence spectra are better for identifying useful electronic transitions for possible laser transitions than are fluorescence spectra is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Fluorescence is a process in which light is emitted from a substance after it absorbs a light. The process involves excitation of electrons and then the relaxation of that electron. The light emitted from the substance has lower energy than the light absorbed by the substance as some radiationless decay takes place.
