Calorescence refers to the phenomenon where certain materials emit light when they are heated. This process is often discussed in the context of thermoluminescence, which is the emission of light from a material as it is heated, following prior exposure to radiation. In calorescence, the material absorbs energy during the heating process, causing electrons to move to a higher energy state. When they return to their ground state, they release energy in the form of light.
