Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called an emission. Light/energy emissions are released in a characteristic manner (wavelength) that corresponds to the amount of energy lost.

Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called?
proton
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light is called what?
Electromagnetic radiation
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
What light is visible that is emitted by a phosphor particle when it absorbs energy?
This phenomenon is called phosphorescence.
What is the electron emitted from the atom called?
the gamma ray.
What is an electron emitted from an atom into two nuclei with smaller masses is?
its called an isotope c:
What state does an electron move to its ground state from in a gaseous atom in order for a photon to be emitted?
In a transition to ground state, a photon is radiated away. It carries off the energy to make a transition to ground state possible. As soon as it is created, the photon is off to the races. It travels away at the speed of light (for the medium in which it is moving).
What is the energy emitted from an atomic bomb called?
Radiation
What is the nature of the energy emitted by stars?
The energy is called electromagnetic radiation (light energy).
The detection of physical energy emitted or reflected by physical objects is called?
The detection of physical energy emitted or reflected by physical objects is called remote sensing. This technology is used to gather information from a distance by recording and analyzing the energy that is emitted or reflected by objects on the Earth's surface.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
