The question is too vague to answer in general, but reading between the lines a little, I assume you're talking about the photovoltaic effect, in which each photon dislodges one electron.

Does a photon have electrons?

No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.


When 10 electrons drop from fifth to second energy level?

Only one photon is produced per electron in any de-excitation. The number of energy levels it drops only determines the energy of the photon emitted.

Why is glass transparent?

When the electrons in molecules are unable to absorb the energy of incident photon, the photon continues along its path. This happens in the case of glass, even though glass is not 100 percent transparent, as some of the photon energy is absorbed by the glass electrons.


What bounces electrons off of the surface of the specimen?

This is the interaction with a photon.


What amount of electrons does it take to carry light?

Electrons do not carry light. Light is an electromagnetic wave or a photon.


Do photon have a greater energy than electron?

No. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass.


What is the name for each atom of an element with a certain number of electrons?

What is the amount of energy for each photon called?

It depends on the wavelength of the photon. Energy of each photon is hc/λ, where h = Planck's constant = 6.626x1034 Js, c = speed of light = 3x108 m/s, and λ = wavelength of the photon


How are the colors produced by a chemical when it burns related to the atomic structure of the chemical?

The transition of excited electrons from one allowed energy level to another. As the excited electrons lose their excess energy and return to the ground state, they give out a photon with an energy directly proportional to the energy difference between the electron levels. The photons (light particle/wave) appear different colours depending on the energy of the photon given off.


Electrons are passed from?

Free electrons are produced in ß- decay, the first electrons were produced in the big bang
