Why do Phosphorescence lamps continue giving light for a while when the source of light stops giving light?

Anna asked:


In fact the main difference between Phosphorescence lamps and Fluorescence lamps are that Fluorescence lamps stop giving light when the source of light stops giving light, but Phosphorescence continues giving light for a while when the source of light stops… Do you know why?
Thanks a lot, already!
