What’s the difference between luminescence and fluorescence?
Luminescence is the emission of visible light without heat. It is contrasted with incandescence where visible light is emitted as a result of heat. Fluorescence falls under the category of luminescent light. Types of luminescent light include fluorescence, phosphorescence or bioluminescence. These types of luminescence are distinguished by the source of energy that produces the release of electromagnetic radiation and by the decay time duration.
