When a electron returns to its stable or ground state is emits?
When an electron returns to its ground state it emits energy in the form of light.
When the electron emits lights does the electron move up to a higher energy level or down to a lower energy level?
In the Bohr model of the atom, an electron emits a photon when it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
What can you assume if an electron moves to a higher energy level?
When an electron is moved to a higher energy level,after absorption, the quantum no longer exists as a separate entity -- its energy has been seamlessly integrated ...into the orbital energy of the electron. If the electon absorbs another quantum, that is likewise integrated seamlessly. if the electron drops down a level toward the nucleus, it emits some of its energy as a quantum, outside the electron, that quantum exists as a photon (electromagnetic radiation). inside an electron, there are no separate or independent quanta. in case of an annihilation, ALL the energy of the electron turns into one quantum (and all the energy of the positron into another quantum).If i didn't do a good job of explaining this, please post in the DiscBrd AND send me a private message, and i will try to clarify.
What is the process in which an electron returns to a lower energy level and emits a photon?
line emission
What is tritium emits?
Tritium decays by beta decay (emits high energy electron converting one neutron to a proton) resulting in Helium-3.
An electron moves from one orbital to another only when it absorbs or emits energy?
That's correct.
When a electron returns to its stable or ground state is emits?
When an electron returns to its ground state it emits energy in the form of light.
When electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of the proton released?
You may be confusing "proton" with "photon". A proton is a positively-charged particle contained within the nucleus of an atom. A photon is a discrete unit of energy normally expressed as light. Around the nucleus of the atom, there are some electrons in energy levels. When an atom absorbs energy, it absorbs a specific amount, or "quantum" of energy and the electron boosted to a higher energy level. When the electron drops to a lower energy level, it emits a photon in the form of light at a specific energy and frequency.
When the electron emits lights does the electron move up to a higher energy level or down to a lower energy level?
In the Bohr model of the atom, an electron emits a photon when it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
When do you know dynamic equilibrium as occurred in a solution?
When it no longer absorbs or emits energy from the surroundings.

What is the difference between linear and non linear optics?
In the case of linear optical transitions, an electron absorbs a photon from the incoming light and makes a transition to the next higher unoccupied allowed state. When this electron relaxes it emits a photon of frequency less than or equal to the frequency of the incident light (Figure 1.3a). SHG on the other hand is a two-photon process where this excited electron absorbs another photon of same frequency and makes a transition to reach another allowed state at higher energy. This electron when falling back to its original 39 state emits a photon of a frequency which is two times that of the incident light (Figure 1.3b). This results in the frequency doubling in the output.
When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of the photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
What is the process in which an electron returns to a lower energy level and emits a photon?
line emission
How does electron capture generate X-rays?
The capture creates a "hole", or missing electron, that is filled by a higher energy electron that emits X-rays.
When electrons jump to a higher energy level they emit or absorb energy?
Electrons are normally in an energy level called the ground state. In the ground state electrons absorb heat energy and then get into the excited state where they release the energy and exert light energy. The light energy can be seen with a spectroscope with a unique bright line emission spectrum.
Why the dark colors reflect less light in the sun?
Because of their colour, dark things tend to absorb more light than brighter colours. It has to o with the electroimagnetic spectrum and the ability for photons in light to either jump to another energy level orreverting back to its original energy level. when the electron becomes excited, it absorbs energy. When it returns to its original state , it emits light.
