UV Luminance Spectroscopy
Fluorescence occurs when

None of these
a molecule lowers its vibrational energy by losing it's excess energy as a photon
a molecule returns to the electronic ground state from an excited triplet state by losing it's excess energy as a photon

UV Luminance Spectroscopy
For a molecule to absorb IR, why must the molecule's vibrations cause fluctuations in the dipole moment of the molecule?

Because for absorption to occur, the radiation must interact with the electric field caused by changing dipole moment
Because fluctuations in the dipole moment allow the molecule to deform by bending and stretching
All of these
Because a change in dipole moment lowers the energy required for electronic transitions

UV Luminance Spectroscopy
Why must the radiation source for fluorescence spectrometry be more powerful than for absorption spectroscopy?

None of these
To allow for scattering by the sample
Because the sample won't fluoresce if the incident radiation is of low power
Because the magnitude of the output signal is proportional to the power of the incident radiation

UV Luminance Spectroscopy
Why phosphorescence measurements are usually made at a low temperature?

To promote phosphorescence by slowing the rate of radiationless transfer processes
To increase the efficiency of the detector
To decease the efficiency of detector
To prevent thermal degradation of the phosphorescent species
