← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a photon energy matches an excitation state's bandgap energy within fluorophore molecules?
A)Stokes shift generates lower energy✓
B)Photoacoustic emission creates thermal waves
C)Raman scattering shifts photon frequency
D)Forster resonance hinders energy transfer
💡 Explanation
Stokes shift occurs because incident photons boost electrons; this excites electrons from lower vibrational ground state to other energy levels, resulting shifts. Therefore, fluorescent emission occurs at longer wavelengths rather than direct reflection, because thermal relaxation lowers initial excitation.
