Does earth emit or reflect light?
The earth does not emit light, but it does reflect light from the sun.
What type of energy does an element need to absorb to emit light?
Many different types of energy can do this. Heat will cause anything to emit blackbody radiation and if there is enough heat the blackbody radiation will overlap the visible light spectrum and the object will be incandescent. To emit light as a narrow spectral line requires raising electrons in the element to higher energy orbitals and allowing them to fall back, emitting photons. The type of energy that can do this can be of many sorts: light, chemical, electrical, etc.
What must happen to the electron in order for an atom to emit light?
The atom must be subjected to a form of energy which propels the electron(s) to a higher energy level. When the electrons return to their resting state they emit one photon of light at a certain wavelength that our eyes interpret as a color.
Why si and ge does not emit light?
energy levels wrong.
Light energy travels in electromagnetic waves How do electromagnetic waves emit energy?
Through Radiation
How does the earth emit light?
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
Does earth emit or reflect light?
The earth does not emit light, but it does reflect light from the sun.
Atoms emit energy as light when?
Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
Does the earth emits light?
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
If atom of a substance absorb ultraviolet light and emit red light what becomes of the missing energy?
The missing energy resides in the atom's excitedconfiguration, namely the electrons are orbiting at a higher quantum orbit.

Does the energy from Sun energise other planets so they can emit light?
No. Planets do not emit light; they can only reflect light from the Sun.
Atoms may emit light energy when?
protons move to a higher energy level protons move to a lower energy level electrons move to a higher energy level electrons move to a lower energy level

Can a traffic light emit light energy?
Yes. That is why they are called traffic lights.
How is eletrical energy converted in light energy?
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.

Why do you know that lithium salts will never emit green light and copper salts will never emit red light?
Because they each have their own level of energy. Green light has more energy than red light.
