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

UV Luminance Spectroscopy
Internal conversion is where

A molecule converts its excess energy to light, and emits a photon
the spin of an excited electron reverses, changing the state of the molecule (from singlet state to triplet state or vice versa)
A molecule converts excess electronic energy to vibrational energy
None of these

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

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

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