Emit may refer to: Emit, North Carolina, an unincorporated community; Em:t Records, a British record label that specializes in ambient music; Emmet (Cornish), Cornish derogatory slang for a tourist or newcomer; EMIT or Enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique, a common drug test; Emit
Enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) is a common method for qualitative and quantitative determination of therapeutic and recreational drugs and certain proteins in serum and urine. [ 1 ] It is an immunoassay in which a drug or metabolite in the sample competes with a drug/metabolite labelled with an enzyme, to bind to an antibody.
Emmet (alt. spellings emmit, emit) is a word in the Cornish dialect of English that is used to refer to tourists or holidaymakers coming to Cornwall. [1] There is debate over whether the term is pejorative or not. [2]
The energy emitted at shorter wavelengths increases more rapidly with temperature. For example, an ideal blackbody in thermal equilibrium at 1,273 K (1,000 °C; 1,832 °F), will emit 97% of its energy at wavelengths below 14 μm. [8] The term emissivity is generally used to describe a simple, homogeneous surface such as silver.

Wavelengths of maximum absorption (≈ excitation) and emission (for example, Absorption/Emission = 485 nm/517 nm) are the typical terms used to refer to a given fluorophore, but the whole spectrum may be important to consider. The excitation wavelength spectrum may be a very narrow or broader band, or it may be all beyond a cutoff level.
Triboluminescence is often a synonym for fractoluminescence (a term mainly used when referring only to light emitted from fractured crystals). Triboluminescence differs from piezoluminescence in that a piezoluminescent material emits light when deformed, as opposed to broken.
Fluorescent minerals emit visible light when exposed to ultraviolet. Fluorescent marine organisms Fluorescent clothes used in black light theater production, Prague. Fluorescence is one of two kinds of photoluminescence, the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation.
