Answer #1

The physical process of fluorescence occurs when a photon of light of a given wavelength hits a molecule and an electron is excited from a lower to higher energy level.

When a fluorochrome is excited by UV light :

The electrons move to excited state.When they relax to their ground state or another state with a lower energy level,energy is released as a photon. As some of the energy is lost during this process, light with an increased wavelength and lower energy is emitted by the fluorochrome compared to the absorbed light.
