Phosphoroscope, the Glossary

Index Phosphoroscope

A phosphoroscope is piece of experimental equipment devised in 1857 by physicist A. E. Becquerel to measure how long it takes a phosphorescent material to stop glowing after it has been excited.[1]

Angle

In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.

Disk (mathematics)

In geometry, a disk (also spelled disc).

Edmond Becquerel

Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel (24 March 1820 – 11 May 1891), known as Edmond Becquerel, was a French physicist who studied the solar spectrum, magnetism, electricity and optics.

Excited state

In quantum mechanics, an excited state of a system (such as an atom, molecule or nucleus) is any quantum state of the system that has a higher energy than the ground state (that is, more energy than the absolute minimum).

See Phosphoroscope and Excited state

Experiment

An experiment is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried.

See Phosphoroscope and Experiment

Fluorescence

Fluorescence is one of two kinds of emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Phosphoroscope and Fluorescence are Luminescence.

See Phosphoroscope and Fluorescence

Light

Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye.

See Phosphoroscope and Light

Phosphorescence

Phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence related to fluorescence. Phosphoroscope and Phosphorescence are Luminescence.
