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

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

None of the above

TuteeHUB · Answer

Because the sample won't fluoresce if the incident radiation is of low power

TuteeHUB · Answer

Because the magnitude of the output signal is proportional to the power of the incident radiation

TuteeHUB · Answer
