Distinguish between fluorescence and phosphorescence


Fluorescence is the immediate emission of radiation, such as visible light, produced
by the absorption of other radiation of a higher frequency. Phosphorescence is the
persistent emission of light following exposure to and removal of incident radiation
from the sample.
