fluoresced

 

[ flษ”หหˆrษ›sษ›d ]

Verb
Context #1 | Verb

display of light

Fluoresced refers to the phenomenon where a substance emits light when exposed to radiation, typically ultraviolet light. This process occurs almost instantaneously, lasting only as long as the exciting source is present. Fluorescence is commonly observed in various materials, including fluorescent dyes and minerals. It is widely utilized in applications like fluorescent lamps and biological markers in research.

Synonyms

glowed, radiated, shone

Examples of usage

  • The paint fluoresced under the black light.
  • Certain minerals fluoresced when illuminated by UV light.
  • The jellyfish fluoresced in the deep ocean.

Etymology

The term 'fluoresced' is derived from the word 'fluorescence,' which originates from the mineral fluorspar (calcium fluoride). The connection to the mineral was made in the early 19th century, when scientists began to investigate the properties of various substances that emitted light when subjected to excitation. The term 'fluorescence' was first coined by the British scientist Sir George Stokes in 1852. He noticed that certain substances absorbed light and then re-emitted it at a longer wavelength, leading to the discovery of this intriguing phenomenon. Over time, fluorescence became an important concept in physics and chemistry, influencing various fields, including biochemistry and material science, with applications ranging from glow-in-the-dark materials to advanced imaging techniques in cellular biology.
