Phosphorescence is a phenomenon associated with an algal division called euglenophytes. 

Phosphorescence is a phenomenon when an object is capable of releasing photons of light at a longer wavelength in response to absorbing light of a shorter wavelength. The object releasing the light only releases the light after some time has passed since it absorbed the light of a short wavelength.

Electronic Flash differs from the consumable bulb flash in important aspects. Instead of creating light by burning up in an atmosphere containing oxygen, a consumable material (each bulb being used therefore only once), it produces a brilliant incandescent by discharging a current for a brief instant through a rarified gas, usually xenon. The gas glows every time the discharge is made through it but it is not consumed, so that many thousands of flashes are obtainable from a single tube, which helps to offset the much higher cost of the initial apparatus.
