  "term": "Measured excitation spectrum",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A plot of the luminescence intensity emitted by a sample as a function of the excitation wavelength, while the emission wavelength is held constant. This spectrum reveals the wavelengths at which a molecule most efficiently absorbs energy to reach an excited state. It is characteristic of the luminescent species and can be used for qualitative identification.",
