  2. Atomic emission spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_emission_spectroscopy

    The wavelengths of this light can be dispersed and measured by a monochromator, and the intensity of the light can be leveraged to determine the number of excited state electrons present. [2] For atomic emission spectroscopy, the radiation emitted by atoms in the excited state are measured specifically after they have already been excited.

  3. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    White light-emitting diodes are usually blue InGaN LEDs with a coating of a suitable material. Cerium(III)-doped YAG (YAG:Ce 3+, or Y 3 Al 5 O 12:Ce 3+) is often used; it absorbs the light from the blue LED and emits in a broad range from greenish to reddish, with most of its output in yellow. This yellow emission combined with the remaining ...

  4. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Most photoluminescent events, in which a chemical substrate absorbs and then re-emits a photon of light, are fast, in the order of 10 nanoseconds. Light is absorbed and emitted at these fast time scales in cases where the energy of the photons involved matches the available energy states and allowed transitions of the substrate.

  5. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    The higher the temperature of the gas, the wider the distribution of velocities in the gas. Since the spectral line is a combination of all of the emitted radiation, the higher the temperature of the gas, the broader the spectral line emitted from that gas. This broadening effect is described by a Gaussian profile and there is no associated shift.

  6. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted. Emission spectrum of hydrogen. The above picture shows the visible light emission spectrum for hydrogen. If ...

  7. Tritium radioluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_radioluminescence

    Radioluminescent 1.8-curie (67 GBq) 6-by-0.2-inch (152.4 mm × 5.1 mm) tritium vials are tritium gas-filled, thin glass vials with inner surfaces coated with a phosphor. Tritium radioluminescence is the use of gaseous tritium , a radioactive isotope of hydrogen , to create visible light.

  8. Chemiluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiluminescence

    This is a gas-phase reaction of phosphorus vapor, above the solid, with oxygen producing excited states of (PO) 2 and HPO. [ 7 ] Another gas phase reaction is the basis of nitric oxide detection in commercial analytic instruments applied to environmental air-quality testing.

  9. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    A white light source—emitting light of multiple wavelengths—is focused on a sample (the pairs of complementary colors are indicated by the yellow dotted lines). Upon striking the sample, photons that match the energy gap of the molecules present (green light in this example) are absorbed, exciting the molecules. Other photons are scattered ...
