Fluorescence is valid Scrabble Word

Definitions for FLUORESCENCE in dictionary:

NOUN:
• visible light emitted from a material while it is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, aka black light
• the property of absorbing light of short wavelength and emitting light of longer wavelength.
• the visible or invisible radiation produced from certain substances as a result of incident radiation of a shorter wavelength such as X-rays or ultraviolet light.
• That property which some transparent bodies have of producing at their surface, or within their substance, light different in color from the mass of the material, as when green crystals of fluor spar afford blue reflections. It is due not to the difference in the color of a distinct surface layer, but to the power which the substance has of modifying the light incident upon it. The light emitted by fluorescent substances is in general of lower refrangibility than the incident light.
• light emitted during absorption of radiation of some other (invisible) wavelength
OTHER DEFINITIONS:
• luminescence that is caused by the absorption of radiation at one wavelength followed by nearly immediate reradiation usually at a different wavelength and that ceases almost at once when the incident radiation stops; the radiation emitted — compare phosphorescence
