Abstract :
FLUORESCENCE is a smart way of saying “fluorspar luminescence.” Ninety years ago the great mathematical scientist, George Gabriel Stokes, was doing a chemical experiment with fluorite, when accidentally the rock came into view of an arc lamp. Stokes noticed the color of the crystals change suddenly from green to blue. His keen mind went to work on that trivial observation.
