Adsorption is condensation /formation of a layer of liquid or gas on the surface of a solid (grain)).
But, after it hits the phosphors that coat the inside of the glass of the bulb, the UV is absorbed and the light emitted thereafter is what we can see and use.
When the above absorption is taking place, some electrons, which are in a ground state, move into a higher energy excited state.

  Absorption spectroscopy Summary
While the relative intensity of the several absorption lines does not vary, at a given wavelength the measured absorbance has been shown to be proportional to the molar concentration of the absorbing species and the thickness of the sample the light passes through.
The plot of absorption versus wavelength for a particular compound is referred to as the absorption spectrum.
The absorption spectrum is measured using a spectrophotometer, which disperses the transmitted light using a diffraction grating and subtracts from the known incident spectrum to determine opacity at each wavelength in the measured range.

 Absorption (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Absorption, in chemistry, is a physical or chemical phenomenon or a process in which atoms, molecules, or ions enter some bulk phase - gas, liquid or solid material.
In the case of gas absorption, one may calculate its concentration by using e.g.
In many technologically important processes, the chemical absorption is used in place of the physical process, e.g.

 Alcohol Chemistry and You
Absorption of ethyl alcohol into the blood can occur through the skin and via the lungs, though the major route of taking ethyl alcohol into the body is by drinking alcoholic beverages.
Absorption through the skin has been confirmed by a report (Dalt et al, 1991) of a case of a 1 – month old infant who became intoxicated as a result of absorption of ethyl alcohol from dressings applied to the stump of the umbilical cord and the skin adjacent to it.
An extreme illustration of absorption via the inhalation route is the case of an infant who died when isopropanol was added to the humidifier of a mechanical ventilator by mistake.

 Atomic Absorption
The principle used in atomic absorption spectroscopy was first discovered in 1802 by Wollaston when he observed the "Fraunhofer lines" or absorption lines in the spectrum of the sun.
In atomic absorption and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy, a light source is used to excite some of the ground state atoms in the flame.
In atomic absorption the method is based on the attenuation (weakening) of a beam of nearly monochromatic light as a consequence of its interaction with and partial absorption by the ground state atoms of the element being analyzed.

 CHP - Atomic-Absorption Spectroscopy
Atomic-absorption (AA) spectroscopy uses the absorption of light to measure the concentration of gas-phase atoms.
Applying the Beer-Lambert law directly in AA spectroscopy is difficult due to variations in the atomization efficiency from the sample matrix, and nonuniformity of concentration and path length of analyte atoms (in graphite furnace AA).
The main purpose of the monochromator is to isolate the absorption line from background light due to interferences.

Analytical chemistry is the analysis of material samples to gain an understanding of their chemical composition and structure.
Qualitative inorganic analysis seeks to establish the presence of a given element or inorganic compound in a sample.
Analytical chemistry research is largely driven by performance (sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, linear range, accuracy, precission, and speed), and cost (purchase, operation, training, time, and space).

Absorption spectroscopic methods are much less sensitive than fluorescence or ionization because of the high background signal associated with the light source but are more universal.
The most straightforward absorption technique is direct absorption spectroscopy, in which the attenuation of the intensity of a stable light source is measured as a function of wavelength.

As you know, there has been very little work on ultraviolet absorption spectra of organic compounds in any of the laboratories of this country so that the development of the work in our laboratory has necessitated extensive and detailed work on the literature of the subject.
As I have worked with the literature, it has seemed to me that it might be possible to compile a systematic description of absorption curves in such a way that the characteristic points of each curve could be located with sufficient accuracy to reproduce the essential points of the curve from the description.
There is, as you say, no field of physical chemistry in which the confusion in the literature is greater and undoubtedly the future development will be along the quantitative lines which you have worked out and systematized so admirably.
