When atoms gain energy they give it off as light. what part of the atom give off light?
There is actually no certain 'part' of the atom that gives off light. As you know, light is made out of photons. Photons are given off by the atom when it releases energy to get rid of the energy. I hope this helps!
How light is given off by the movement of electrons in an atom?
Electron transitions release photons.
What is happening in an atom when light is given off?
light is given off by an atom when and electron moves from one shell to a lower shell and a specific amount of energy is released in the process (known as a photon). If the wavelength of the released photon are in the spectrum of visible light, we will see it as a specific color based on the wavelength of the photon.
What is given off when electrons return to their ground state?
energy is given out. this is emitted in the form light ie each atom has its own characteristic emission spectra.
What device analyzes the light given off when an element is burned?
A spectrometer analyzes the light given off when an element is burned.
What happens when an electron in an atom absorbs energy?
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
What do stars vary in?
expressed light. (light given off.)
What is givin off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower orbit?
Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
What is most energy given off as?
It depends what it is... if you were talking about a light bulb for instance.. more heat energy is given off than light.
Radiation given off by radioctive waste does nit?
Radiation does give off waste. Radioactive waste does not give off waste. The waste is given in one because atom.
Actual amount of light that a star gives off?
it is florecent gasses that take thousands of years for the light to travel to earth so by the time we see the stars, they could already be long gone
What is light and heat given off by the sun?
The light and heat given off by the sun are actually high energy produced by nuclear fusion of hydrogen.
