scintillation

In physics|lang=en terms the difference between luminosity and scintillation

is that luminosity is (physics) the ratio of luminous flux to radiant flux at the same wavelength; the luminosity factor while scintillation is (physics) the flash of light produced by a phosphor when it absorbs ionizing radiation.

In astronomy|lang=en terms the difference between luminosity and scintillation

is that luminosity is (astronomy) the rate at which a star radiates energy in all directions while scintillation is (astronomy) the twinkling of a star caused by turbulence in the earth's atmosphere.

As nouns the difference between luminosity and scintillation

is that luminosity is (uncountable) the state of being luminous, or a luminous object; brilliance or radiance while scintillation is a flash of light; a spark.

As nouns the difference between glint and scintillation

is that glint is a short flash of light while scintillation is a flash of light; a spark.

As a verb glint

is to flash briefly.

As nouns the difference between phosphorescence and scintillation

is that phosphorescence is the emission of light without any perceptible heat; the quality of being phosphorescent while scintillation is a flash of light; a spark.

In physics terms the difference between scintillation and fluorescence

is that scintillation is the flash of light produced by a phosphor when it absorbs ionizing radiation while fluorescence is the emission of light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by a material when stimulated by the absorption of radiation or of a subatomic particle.

As nouns the difference between scintillation and fluorescence

is that scintillation is a flash of light; a spark while fluorescence is the emission of light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by a material when stimulated by the absorption of radiation or of a subatomic particle.

As nouns the difference between sublimation and scintillation

is that sublimation is the transition of a substance from the solid phase directly to the vapor state such that it does not pass through the intermediate liquid phase while scintillation is a flash of light; a spark.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and scintillation

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while scintillation is a flash of light; a spark.

As nouns the difference between scintillation and scintigram

is that scintillation is a flash of light; a spark while scintigram is (medicine) an image of part of the body, obtained by measuring (by means of scintillation or a similar method) the radiation emitted by a radioactive tracer.
