The effect of temperature on phosphorescence

Click For Summary
Increasing temperature is believed to decrease the lifetime of phosphorescence, though further explanation is not provided. A Google search using the specific problem statement yielded a relevant article from Nature as the second result, which may contain the needed information. The discussion indicates that the inquiry is related to homework, prompting a suggestion to move the thread to a general technical forum if it's not school-related. Participants express interest in verifying the search results and finding answers. The Nature article is recommended for further reading to clarify the effects of temperature on phosphorescence.

Homework Statement
What effect does heat have on a substance with phosphorescence properties?
Relevant Equations
...
I had read somewhere that as the temperature increases, its lifetime decreases. But there was no further explanation. Of course, I don't know if it's true yet.

I did a Google search using your Problem Statement ('What effect does heat have on a substance with phosphorescence properties?'), and the 2nd hit gave the direct answer. Can you try that same search?

Also, is this really a schoolwork question or just something you were wondering about? I can move your thread to the general technical forums if it's not for schoolwork.

Did Google really give a direct answer?! I tried but failed. I'd better try again.
No, this is a homework.:smile:

Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
