  2. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Most phosphorescent compounds are still relatively fast emitters, with triplet decay-times in the order of milliseconds. Common examples include the phosphor coatings used in fluorescent lamps, where phosphorescence on the order of milliseconds or longer is useful for filling in the "off-time" between AC current cycles, helping to reduce "flicker".

    Example of phosphorescence Monochrome monitor Aperture grille CRT phosphors. A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence; it emits light when exposed to some type of radiant energy.

  5. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Phosphorus is an essential macromineral for plants, which is studied extensively in edaphology to understand plant uptake from soil systems. Phosphorus is a limiting factor in many ecosystems ; that is, the scarcity of phosphorus limits the rate of organism growth.

    A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or growing seasons. Biennial plants usually form a basal rosette of leaves in the first year and then flower and fruit in the second year. bifid Forked; cut in two for about half its length. Compare trifid. bifoliate

  7. Strontium aluminate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_aluminate

    Phosphorescent materials were discovered in the 1700s, and people have been studying them and making improvements over the centuries.The development of strontium aluminate pigments in 1993 was spurred on by the need to find a substitute for glow-in-the-dark materials with high luminance and long phosphorescence, especially those that used promethium.

  9. Phosphorus deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_deficiency

    At this range of acidity the likeliness of phosphorus uptake is increased and the likeliness of phosphorus deficiency is decreased. Another part of prevention and treatment of phosphorus is the plant's disposition to absorb nutrients. Plant species and different plants within a species react differently to low levels of phosphorus in soil.
