DEFINITION
• In simple terms, phosphorescence is a process in
which energy absorbed by a substance is
released relatively slowly in the form of light.
• This is in some cases the mechanism used for
"glow-in-the-dark" materials which are "charged"
by exposure to light.
DISCOVERIES AND SCIENTISTS
• The first discovery of phosphorescence which attracted scientific attention was
that of the Bologna Stone (barium sulphide), by Vincenzo Cascariolo in 1602.
• This was followed by the discovery of a number of substances which become
luminous either after heating or exposure to light:
 Homberg´s phosphorus(obtained by heating calcium chloride)
 John Canton´s phosphorus(calcium sulphide)
 Balduin´s phosphorus(calcium nitrate).
PHOSPHOR
● Phosphor is a chemical compound which emits light when it is exposed to the light
of a different wavelength.
● Sometimes this element can be confused with phosphorus but there are no
similarities between them.
● We can find this element in fluorescent bulbs, toys or safety signs in buildings.
CHEMILUMINESCENCE
• Some examples of glow-in-the-dark materials
do not glow by phosphorescence.
• In chemiluminescence, an excited state is
created via a chemical reaction.
LUMINOUS PAINT
• Phosphorescent paint is made from
phosphors such as silver-activated zinc
sulfide or doped strontium aluminate.
• Escape paths in aircraft and decorative
use such as "stars" applied to walls and
ceilings.
• Phosphorescent paint can be used for
temperature detection or degradation
measurements known as phosphor
thermometry.
Tritium & luminosity in watches
● Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen very difficult to find on Earth, it was first
discovered in 1934.
● This isotope can damage our health or contaminate the environment, but it is still used
for nuclear weapons or controlled nuclear fusion.
● Also, this material is used in watches because the electrons produced by tritium create
a fluorescent light that can last up to 20 years. Obviously tritium in watches is
hermetically closed inside small glass tubes.
MATERIALS
• Common pigments used in phosphorescent
materials include zinc sulfide and strontium
aluminate.
• Everyday examples of phosphorescent
materials are:
• the glow-in-the-dark toys
• stickers
• paint
• clock dials
PHOSPHOROSCOPE
• A phosphoroscope is a device used in observing and measuring the
persistence of phosphorescence after the source of radiation has been
removed (after it has been excited).
• It was invented in 1857 by the physicist A.E.Becquerel.
Phosphorescence in nature
● Bioluminescence is the emission and production of light by a living organism, this
type of chemiluminescence is produced when a pigment and an enzyme join in a
chemical reaction.
● Bioluminescence is used by animals for communicating, imitating other
organisms, illuminating or even camouflaging.
● Sometimes the sea water can illuminate by some plankton with this kind of
bioluminescence, this is one of the most beautiful events that bioluminescence
can produce.
