Comment comment by wyldeling on 12 December 2006

My friend (and a fellow nerd who I am trying to get onto this site) pointed out two others that need to be shared:

  • Spontaneous emission - the emission of particles through internal processes only. Think: radioactive decay
  • Stimulated emission - the emission of particles caused by an external action. Think: LASER stands for Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

I'll let everyone figure out their more risque meanings ...
