How light is absorb?

By the agitation of an electron by a photon.


What happend when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves to a higher level?

It immediately falls back to the ground state and emits a photon of light.


An atom absorbs energy as its electron?

An electron in the ground state does absorb energy in form of photons or other electromagnetic radiations.


What happens when ann electron moves to a higher energy level?

It falls back to its ground state, emitting light of a particular wavelength and color.


Emissin of light from an atom occurs when an electron what?

Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level


What types of electromagnetic radiation can be released when an electron falls from an excited state to a ground state?

Whenever the electron falls from an excited state to a lower level, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Electromagnetic radiation can be light of different wavelengths and therefore different colors


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.


Why is a shorter wavelength of light emitted when an electron falls from n4 to n1 than when an electron falls from n2 to n1?

The shorter the wave length the more energy. The further the electron falls, the more energy that will be emitted and the shorter the wavelength.


What must an electron do to move from ground state to an excited state?

To move an electron from the ground state to an excited state, it requires an input of energy. It should be equal to the energy difference between the two levels. This energy comes from collision with other molecules and atoms.


What does incident light that falls on an object do to the electrons in the atoms of an object?

When a photon of energy falls on an electron bound inside an atom, the electron absorbs the energy and is emitted from the atom.


What has to happen before you can move to a new energy level in the electron cloud?

When an electron falls from a higher to lower energy level, it emits a photon. Atom will emit only light with a wavelength (color).


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.
