Descriptor luminiscencia
Entry term(s) luminiscencia física
Scope note: Emisión de LUZ cuando los ELECTRONES retornan a su estado electrónico fundamental desde un estado excitado, cediendo energía en forma de FOTONES. También se denomina luz fría, en contraste con la INCANDESCENCIA. Las MEDIDAS DE LUMINISCENCIA se basan en la detección de este tipo de luz emitida por los SUSTANCIAS LUMINISCENTES.

Scope note: Emission of LIGHT when ELECTRONS return to the electronic ground state from an excited state and lose the energy as PHOTONS. It is sometimes called cool light in contrast to INCANDESCENCE. LUMINESCENT MEASUREMENTS take advantage of this type of light emitted from LUMINESCENT AGENTS.
Allowable Qualifiers: AE adverse effects
