| photic sneezing |
Photic sneeze reflex (also whimsically called ACHOO, a backronym for Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst) is a medical condition by which people exposed to bright light involuntarily sneeze. It has been suggested that the photic sneeze reflex occurs only after someone has been adapted to the dark for at least five minutes, although this is not certain, and is not uniform amongst people with the photic sneeze reflex. ...

| photoluminescence |
Fluorescence is a luminescence, i.e. optical phenomenon in cold bodies, in which a molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, and re-emits it as a lower-energy (longer-wavelength) photon. The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as molecular vibrations (heat). Usually the absorbed photon is in the ultraviolet, and the emitted light (luminescence) is in the visible range, but this depends on the absorbance curve and Stokes shift of the particular fluorophore. ...

| photometry |
Photometry is a technique of astronomy concerned with measuring the flux, or intensity of an astronomical object's electromagnetic radiation. Usually, photometry refers to measurement over large wavelength bands of radiation; but, when not only the amount of radiation but its spectral distribution are measured the term spectrophotometry is used. ...

Photon was a live action series based on the infrared tag game popular in the 1980s. The series took place on Earth and in space on various worlds and involved a young human teen named Christopher Jarvis who is a champion player of Photon. He receives a mysterious message one day while playing and is transported to the ship of Mother One, the leader of the Federation of Light a galactic amalgam of beings dedicated to playing Photon and the power of good over evil. ...

| photoautotroph |
Phototrophs or photoautotrophs are photosynthetic algae, fungi, bacteria and cyanobacteria which build up carbon dioxide and water into organic cell materials using energy from sunlight. One product of this process is starch, which is a storage or reserve form of carbon, which can be used when light conditions are too poor to satisfy the immediate needs of the organism. ...
