How many spectral lines are emitted if an electron moves from the L shell to the K shell?

Since the K is 1 level below the L, only one photon (at 1 specific wavelength) will emit. So you will only see 1 spectral line.

Is energy absorbed when an electron moves to a closer shell?
No. Energy is emitted when an electron moves to a closer shell (closer to the nucleus).
The more spectral lines of a star are shifted to the red end of the spectrum the?
... faster it moves away from us.
Which term refers to the energy emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one?
neutron
Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?
Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.
Light is emitted as an electron transitions from a higher energy orbital to a lower energy orbital How long does it take for the actual transition to take place?
It takes no time as electrons can not exist in an inbetween state of charge
When excited electrons return to lower energy levels what is released?
Energy is emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
How did Bohr explain the line spectrum of hydrogen?
The difference in energy between the energy levels determines color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another.
How many photon are emitted when an electron moves from n equals 6 to n equals 3?
6 - 3 = 3 In a sequence cascade there would be three photons emitted; one for every level and three different wavelengths depending on the atom. If the drop is from 6 to 3 then only one photon is emitted.
How the hole moves?
A hole is a place where an electron is missing. If an electron moves into that places, the electron will be missing somewhere else - the hole has moved along.A hole is a place where an electron is missing.

What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
How is spectral analysis used in light sources?
Spectral analysis is a procedure in which a light source is shone through a lens to reveal its components. Light created by different methods have different spectral components, which act like a fingerprint. For example, if you examine the spectrum of a distant star, the different wavelengths will show you what different elements comprise that star. At a more detailed scientific level, the individual lines are determined by the amount of energy lost by a particular atom's electrons as they move between energy levels. Each energy level of an atom's electron shell is characteristic to that atom. When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one, there is a release of energy in the form of a photon, and that photon's wavelength is determined by the amount of energy change, resulting in a spectrographic line characteristic to that atom.
What can happenn if an electron moves to a higher energy level?
the electron will gain energy
