Question

The light given off by the phosphor during exposure to the electron beam is known as

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2024 Management Question Paper (02-Sep-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Fluorescence

In a cathode-ray tube the electron beam strikes a phosphor coating, and the phosphor emits light in two parts (Hearn & Baker).

The light emitted while the phosphor is being struck by the electron beam is called fluorescence.

Phosphorescence is the glow that continues after the beam has been removed, as excited electrons return slowly to their ground state.

Persistence is the time taken for the emitted light to decay to one-tenth of its original intensity; it is a property of the phosphor, not the light itself.

Retracing is the return movement of the beam to the start of the next scan line or frame, during which the beam is blanked.

Fluorescence option is correct.
