  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001503",
  "term": "Brightness",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the perceived intensity of light emitted or reflected by an object. In photochemistry, it often relates to the radiance or luminance of a light source. For fluorescent materials, brightness is related to the quantum yield and the absorption coefficient at the excitation wavelength.",
