Which mechanism causes spectral broadening when dye molecules undergo rapid dephasing?

💡 Explanation

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle causes spectral broadening, because shorter lifetimes of excited states create greater uncertainty in energy via the Time-Energy Uncertainty relation; therefore, broadened spectral lines are observed, rather than discrete frequencies due to longer lived states.
