How fluorescence works may seem mysterious, but it’s a simply step by step process. You don’t need to know much about chemistry to actually understand what happens. We just have to be comfortable imagining the inside of a molecule, where busy bee electrons buzz with their respective energies. They are easily influenced by incoming light,

These are ALL types of magnetism I could find, but rest assured there are more lurking in the nooks and crannies of science. For many niche kinds of magnetism, only the 10-20 people actively working in the field use the terms. A lot of magnetism jargon is just adopted for ease of clarity amongst researchers,
