| excitation radiation | <radiobiology> Line radiation (at characteristic frequencies / wavelengths) as a result of the promotion of electrons or other constituent particles of a larger system to excited states, and the subsequent de-excitation of these states by radiative transitions.

|---|---|
| excitation spectrum | Fluorescence produced over a range of wavelengths of the exciting light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| excitation wave | A wave of altered electrical conditions that is propagated along a muscle fibre preparatory to its contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of excitation | A motor nerve responds, not to the absolute value, but to the alteration of value from moment to moment, of the electric current; i.e., rate of change of intensity of the current is a factor in determining its effectiveness. Synonym: Du Bois-Reymond's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of polar excitation | A given segment of a nerve is irritated by the development of catelectrotonus and the disappearance of anelectrotonus, but the reverse does not hold; i.e., excitation occurs at the cathode when the circuit is closed and at the anode when it is opened. Synonym: Pfluger's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
